Cosy Toes

This might be my favourite sock design yet! I originally came up with Tìorail for a magazine submission. I’m not sure if the submission went through – I never got an auto-reply or heard back from anyone, but I loved the design so much I knew I was going to release it myself!

I knew I wanted to knit it in a really nice deep colour that felt warm and wintery. Unfortunately that was proving very difficult to find until Victoria at Eden Cottage Yarns posted this beautiful deep red called Apeldoorn Tulip on my favourite sock base Brimham 4ply! The timing was perfect  – just like it was meant to be. She’s dyeing some more sock yarn in Apeldoorn Tulip for the release so keep an eye out for it!

Victoria has given me a 10% off voucher on her sock yarns for all my lovely Patrons! If you’re not a Patron already, it’s super simple to sign up and from just £1.00 (plus EU VAT depending on your location) you get 50% off new releases and all the behind the scenes news!

You can get 25% off Tìorail with the code CosySale until 1.00 am (BST) on the 5th October 2021. The pattern is also on LoveCrafts and Etsy!

If you want to find out what I’m up to between blog posts you can keep an eye on what I’m up to on Instagram, or come join me on Patreon for 50% off new releases and to find out what I’m working on for the next few of months!

If you’d like an exclusive 40% discount on future releases sign up for my newsletter – I only send out emails when I release a new pattern or am having a sale, so usually, you’ll only hear from me about once a month.

Architectural Beauty

I had a lot of fun with this design. The name of the yarn colour was what sent me off  down this fun rabbit hole. I grew up near Aberdeen – the Granite City as a kid, and lived and worked there as an adult so as you can imagine it’s very close to my

Cherry Leaves

I have loved this lace pattern for a long time. The original is in the book with the two sets of leaves facing each other across a central spine. As well as being pretty wide, the stitch count of the pattern varies over the pattern repeat. This makes it hard to use in your average

Mosaic and Lace

Ever since I made Breigichean I’ve been looking for the chance to do more mosaic knitting. I really loved this pattern in particular, so I was on the lookout for ways to use it! So when I was looking for an idea for my June design, this was the perfect place to start! I went

Trainer socks with a lace and twisted rib pattern travelling across the sock. The socks are knit in light brown yarn with speckles.

Lace Twill

I have been looking forward so much to knitting more shortie socks – they’re all the fun parts of knitting socks (toes and heels) with none of the boring bits (the leg!) I knew I wanted something lacy because we’re thinking summery and I added the rib to give the edges a little more stability.
