Socks!

You may be thinking I've fallen off the edge of the world and can not make my way back. In fact, I've been busy busy designing, knitting, re-knitting, and re-knitting. (Isn't that always how it goes?)

The Three Irish Girls (TIG) yarn company commissioned me to create a sock design for their sock-of-the-month club. Here's the link to the pattern available for purchase.

Construction: Toe up with the Lifestyle Socks no muss no fuss short row heel. Note: these are my photos. TIG used their own photos for the pattern. This is a fun project to work with multi-colored yarn and a solid yarn (check out the Three Irish Girls colorways available).


 
This project has inspired more designing -- look for related projects soon.

I created the pattern, requested the colorway (pinks/purples and charcoal) for June in honor of Pride celebrations everywhere – naming it Pride! socks. The Three Irish Girls company renamed the pattern to “Flying Geese Socks”. That works too.
