Notes

These were my sample for the Knit Now photoshoot.

The magazine will be in the shops mid January and I plan the release of the single pattern this fall - shoot me a PM if you’d like to be notified then.

My notes

The yarn: Artesano definition - soft, squishy, beautiful colours! I fell in love with the peacock colourway - so vibrant and deep!

The pattern: I’ve chosen just a few bands of simple stranded knitting - nothing complicated, no overly long floats on the wrong side.
The socks are worked toe-up with my favourite easy-toe method (experienced knitters can, of course, substitute their method of choice).
I’ve made the sizing slightly modular - some of us do have long feet but narrow calfs and vica versa - and given hints on where to adjust the stitch count to your needs. If you need help with this, give me a shout - I’ll try to be of assistance. :-)
