This Book is Retired…but you can (probably) get it in November

I have a lot of patterns! But I also get overwhelmed if I have to deal with them all at once. So I’ve picked 12 of my favorites (the Core Collection) to keep around. Then every few months, I decide on a theme or a technique and make a handful of related patterns (the Rotating Collection) available for a little while (then they go away again). 

The other patterns are retired and are not generally available. However, because I know some folks will want them, I make many the retired patterns available for a few weeks every November. If you want me to tell you when they’re back, subscribe to the mailing list or patreon, and I’ll let you know!

• If you see the buy buttons on this page, you’ve caught it on one of the days it’s available! 
• If you don’t see the buy buttons on this page, it’s not currently available.
• Book patterns are only available as ebooks, they are not available individually.
• If you want to hear when the retired patterns are available (most likely in November), subscribe to the mailing list or patreon, or keep an eye on my instagram.

I swore I wasn’t going to do this. I wasn’t going to be that tiresome person who moves somewhere pretty and then drones endlessly on about the sea and the sky and the light and how it’s all a bit magic.

Because that’s insufferable. Worse yet, it’s boring. No one wants to hear that (just like no one really wants to hear about the odd dream you had last night).

But the fact remains that I did move somewhere I absolutely adore. And I am spending frankly alarming amounts of time staring out the window and sighing and thinking how lovely it all is (or skidding around on slippery rocks, twisting my ankles, scraping my knuckles, and earning new freckles, depending on the day). It would be silly to think this place isn’t finding its way into my knitting.

Still, and this is the important bit, while it may be true, I’m going to do my very best not to be a giant weirdo about it. I am not going to make you sit through any tiresome descriptions of how I wrote this while listening to the waves or got my pants soaked in seawater taking the photos. I am going to keep in mind that you may regard the idea of rugged, rocky, stormy beaches with the same sort of dread I reserve for hot, sandy, sunny places.

My hope isn’t that you knit these socks somewhere like this place. My hope is that you knit them somewhere you love every bit as much as I love this place, and that they stand you in good stead on all your future adventures!

A note on ebooks
This book has both paper and electronic versions. If you got a paper book, it may have come with a single use download code for the ebook (usually inside the back cover). If it did, you can still use that code (even though the pattern is retired). Go here and follow the instructions!
