If you’re a sock knitter, you like to buy sock yarn. But sometimes the “sock” yarn isn’t right for socks: sometimes the yardage is too short, sometimes the colours don’t work out, sometimes it’s just too pretty (or too much fun) to hide.

I’m a rocker-chick at heart… For a long time, my wardrobe was almost entirely an homage to the Hamburg-era Beatles, and the early years of the Ramones. Although my tastes have broadened since then , I still tend towards clean lines and dark colors. Who am I kidding… it’s black. I wear a lot of black. Which is great if you’re a fashionista, but not so great if you’re a knitter. It’s hard to knit with dark colors, and equally, dark colored knits are hard to show off. What’s the point of all that fancy patternwork if no-one can actually see it?

All slightly off-kilter in some way, these patterns are designed to be versatile everyday pieces. They only require the most basic lace skills, and are well within the reach of any knitter who knows how to handle a yo or two. Don’t be afraid of the fineness of the yarn, you’re still using pretty big needles. There are three sizes of project, depending on how big a piece you want, and each adapts to whatever quantity of yarn you have.
