Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
What better time to curl up with a comfortable, cosy project than the quiet winter (or summer) break. Whether it’s your Solstice cast on, your Christmas Eve cast on, your curl up in a blanket with a cocoa on a cold Winter’s night cast on. You can make it scrappy or with just 2 colours. There are 3 styles to choose from (I call them Beginner, Ad...
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks

What is it, exactly, about a house that gives us that “haunted” vibe? We probably all passed one as a kid…that house in the neighbourhood that made you go past just a little bit faster…that nobody would dare knock on the door. This is the less scary version of that house. The “fun-Halloween-vibes-without-the-goosebumps” kind of feeling, with al...
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks

Knitting: Pullover
MiniMint is a fun, all-over colourwork sweater knit from the top down in fingering weight yarn…the kid’s version of my MerryMint sweater. Knit in a lively, colourful combination of yarns, it can look quite elf-ish and spritely in nature. Knit in a more subdued palette, it is a gentle nod to the holidays.

From Natalie Sheldon, the designer: “When I hear the word “campfire” I immediately think of our rustic camp in the woods. We often build a campfire to cook up our meals, heat our water, or just to relax and enjoy the evening.

Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
I have long loved the look of traditional redwork quilts, and embroidery. Those wonderful pieces created with just one bright, vivid colour on a crisp, clean background were my inspiration for these socks. I pictured a pair of warm cosy socks that would give the same feeling as snuggling into a nice warm quilt on cold, crisp days.
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
Festivities: the celebration of something in a joyful and exuberant way.
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks, Christmas Stocking
Winter is the time to curl up with blankets, hot drinks, a good book or movie and layers of the most comforting knits. These plaid socks remind me of cozy layers of flannel, warm woolens, and simple pleasures. The pattern provides a size for everyone in the family to have matching or co-ordinating socks: baby/ornament (toddler, youth, teen/adul...

Knitting: Mid-calf Socks, Christmas Stocking
A few times as a child, I remember going out to a tree farm as a family a couple of weeks before our holidays to chop down our vision of the perfect tree. Walking through row upon row of trees grown just for this purpose until we found just what we were looking for. These days, I rather enjoy going to our local greenhouse instead and choosing o...
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
These socks were inspired by Lily-of-the-valley, bluebells, and fields running rampant with wildflowers. Flowers always remind me of Anne of Green Gables and the complete rapture she found in her outdoor adventures. As this is my fourth sock pattern, I thought “Charlotta the Fourth” would be a perfectly fitting name for such a Green Gables insp...
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
The pattern includes charts to have mirror images on the left and right foot so that one of the bees falls on the outside of each leg. If you choose to, you could duplicate stitch the bees in a separate contrasting colour to make them stand out even more.
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
Inspiration for this pattern: Winters here can be long and cold. I wanted to savour it rather than fight it. Imagine curling up with a nice warm drink, a toasty fire or some candle-light, a warm blanket on your lap, and savouring the peace and quiet that comes with a late-night winter snowfall. This is the perfect pattern for the peaceful night...
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
Inspiration for this pattern: My lovely aunt Brigitte always had the most wonderful patch of feverfew flowers in her front garden. For years, I have tried to recreate it in my own yard with varied success. The image of her flower patch is one that is often on my mind, so I have created a version I can wear as a reminder of her.
