These were the most intricate colourwork socks I've ever knitted, what a fun challenge! They fit my daughter perfectly, she is sooo happy with them! Knitting for knit-worthy people is entirely worthwhile ❤️ It's also way more fun to photograph socks on someone else's feet. Who knew?

I like to knit the neck and sleeves of a sweater before finishing the body because A. The neck and sleeves can sometimes change the length of the body, B. If I'm running low on yarn I can just end the body early rather than risking running out partway through a sleeve, and C. When I finish the body, all that's left is to weave in the ends and block!

It's pattern release day!

The Early Bird Socks feature wriggly curvy lines down the front to resemble worms, with purl stitches in the negative space that look like scattered seeds, giving these socks really pretty textural interest. They are worked cuff-down with options for a Crew or Ankle Leg, your choice of an Eye of Partridge Flap & Gusset Heel or a Shadow Wrap Short Row Heel, and a Wedge Toe. The texture motif is worked on the front of the leg and down the top of the foot using increases, decreases, and purl stitches. The pattern includes sizes between 6-10"(15-25cm).

Happy knitting, early birds! 🧦🐦☀️

I frogged a sweater that I never wore (well once, for photos, but that's it) to knit a tee that I WILL (hopefully) wear. I'm trying to be better at using up yarn that I already have to knit pieces I'll actually want to put on... groundbreaking, I know! 😂

This design has a really neat construction that I've never done before, but gosh, there sure are a lot of ends to weave in! I've hidden them in this photo, but you can trust me.

My daughter asked for some handknit socks (the best compliment), so I had her peruse Ravelry and Galt House of Yarn's website to come up with her perfect pattern and yarn combo. The colours remind us of Rocky Road ice cream, they're going to be so cute! 🍨

If you're a knitter or crocheter looking for a small project bag, I still have a few drawstring and zippered options left from my Spring collection. They make great gifts, too! 🎁 (Shipping within Canada only at this time 🇨🇦)
