It’s been an amazing experience designing independent knitting patterns these last 12+ years. And throughout it, the many life changes, including a fantastic full-time job, have pulled me from my ability to maintain the upkeep and customer service needed. I’ve decided to close the store and retire all the patterns. It may not be forever, but I need to follow my heart towards other projects for now.

My patterns and pattern support will no longer be available after August 1, 2021.

Until that date, please enjoy a closing discount of 50% off on all patterns (no coupon code needed). Thank you for so many years of support and knitting!

The path we each walk in life is never easy, often crossed with obstacles, choices, joy, and tears. Yet, these socks, with an intriguing cross-over stitch and simple ribbing, enable our feet to be cozy, warm, and protected as we take the steps forward—mindfully. You’ll enjoy working these top-down socks as much as you will wearing them.
This pattern was re-written for publication with Knit Picks. Enjoy!
