On my home island of Jamaica, the native language is Patois. It is lyrical and the phrases can be sharp or sweet. When you leave someone’s company, one way for them to wish you a good journey is to remind you, “Walk good!” It means go steady; be easy; keep your feet on the ground and your destination in sight. With delicious yarn, a little stitched-in strength, and a comfortable fit, I include that wish for you in this design, Brave Knitter – Walk Good!

With these socks, I’m continuing my quest to help you knit to fit! These socks include tips for getting the best fit from the toe to the cuff, and there’s a special heel in here I believe you’ll love!
