Little Flowers

Sometimes I start working on a design with the complete vision of what I want to make in my head. This was not one of those times. I had a general idea. I wanted socks. I wanted an all over pattern. I wanted something light and summery, and preferably something that looked good with speckles! So I set out on a quest to make it happen!

I found this beautiful texture pattern that reminded me of little flowers. It was spaced out with a few rows of stocking stitch but when I started knitting my socks the pattern felt too dense, so I added a couple more plain rows, recharted my toes and started again! 

I absolutely love how the pattern turned out! It’s light, summery, and looks awesome in a speckled yarn! If you don’t knit the leg long, they also make fantastic shortie socks like one of my testers made! I named the design Dìtheanan because in makes me think of a wild flower meadow, or daisies on a lawn!

You can get 25% off Dìtheanan with the code FlowerSale until 11.59 pm (UTC) on the 18th of July 2023. The pattern is also on LoveCrafts and Etsy!

More Shortie Socks

I really enjoy knitting shortie socks! They’re all my favourite things – toes and heels – but none of the boring bits – like legs that go on forever. Yeldrin have a really fun, easy to learn lace pattern that is mirrored on either side of the sock.  You can get 25% off Yeldrin with the code YellowSale until

Sea Monster Scales

It seems I have a love for lace patterns that repeat and can be increased in size through a cowl, but that’s ok, I’m happy to own it! Stoor Worm is the third cowl pattern I’ve done in this style, joining Cashie and Lozent. Where Cashie is leaves and Lozent has a diamond pattern, Stoor Worm

Storm Bird

I have been dreaming about a pair of fingerless mitts with a feather pattern for ages. It’s taken me a little while to figure it out. I didn’t want to use cables unless it was really necessary (spoiler, Assilag uses cables) because lots of little cables can be fiddly and tedious. I tried out some

The extra long length of a striped and stranded colourwork infinity scarf wrapped three times around the neck of a mannequin.

Rings of Colour

I have had this idea for ages, for a striped cowl with a colourwork pattern at the join between the stripes. So long in fact that I picked up this yarn as a “spare” advent calendar at the end of the year. The yarn came as a gradient from white, through pink, to purple, to
