Knitting: Cowl
The bulky version of the original Glacial Cowl, this is a super cosy and fast project!
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
For this design, I decided to include all my favorite elements of a hand knit sock. There’s a 1x1 twisted rib, a simple repeat running down the foot with a little ribbing for best fit, and form fitting heels and toes without excess bunching fabric.

These socks can be easily customized for the desired foot circumference and heel preference. I knit these as footies but I would recommend having a...
