Togair – Desirable Socks!

A speckled pair of socks with a textured chevron patternBefore we start talking about Togair, can I just mention how perfect socks are as summer holiday knitting? Easy to pick up and put down if someone starts screaming, you’re never too far from the end of a round (or a needle – I tend to think of it this way!), there’s no big pile of knitting in your lap to overheat you and it’s ridiculously easy to just throw it in a handbag and take it out with you anywhere! As I said, socks are a perfect summer holiday project!

Togair is the third pattern in my Socks in Love collection. I’m still in love with this stitch. It’s really easy to do and it’s incredibly flexible. This time I went for a V-pattern repeating down the leg and pointing to the toes. Togair means covet and desire in Scottish Gaelic, and I really hope you desire them too! This is the only pair of socks in the collection where the two socks are identical and not mirror images of each other! The yarn I used for Togair is Skein Queen Crush in Fairy Dust and the colours are just fantastic! I love all these multi-coloured speckles, and have a look at how gorgeous they are on the heel!

If you’ve already bought the Socks in Love eBook, Togair is on it’s way to you now! Or you can buy the patterns individually and any pattern purchases made will be discounted from the collection price so you’ll never pay more than the maximum price for the ebook.

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

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

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.
