Sea Comb

Imagine wandering on the beach, combing for shells and sea glass. The waves are gently hitting the shore. Sea Comb evokes your steady footsteps followed by those quiet moments with the simple rib and cable pattern and the ‘sea’ of stocking stitch.

Spring in Paris

Walk along the Seine, visit the Louvre or enjoy the spring air by climbing the Eiffel Tower. The Spring in Paris socks are a homage to Paris with stitch patterns that are inspired by the Eiffel Tower.

Pedal to the Heddle

The Pedal to the Heddle socks use the same stitch pattern as my shawl pattern, Heddle. The stitch pattern used looks like a woven fabric.

To Chance

A fun top-down sock pattern. The sequel to By Chance socks. These are fraternal and you use a dice to determine which stitch pattern to work. No two socks are the same! If you don’t have a dice, then just google “roll a dice” instead.

Drift & Ebb

The Drift & Ebb cowl is worked in the round and the pattern is reminiscent of the surf hitting the shore. Drift & Ebb is an ideal pattern to try stranded knitting for the first time

Mackerel Skies

Mackerel skies are dappled with rows of small fleecy clouds, reminiscent of the scale pattern on a mackerel’s back. Worked from the top down with a band heel and gusset and a simple knit and purl pattern that creates an interesting pillowed effect.

Pordum

A lace crescent shawl with a stitch pattern that is reminiscent of thistles. Pordum is scalable. In other words, the pattern repeat can be worked any number of times, so you can work the pattern to the length that your yarn quantity will stretch to.

Autumn Fade

Embrace the changing of seasons. Autumn Fade starts with the green leaves of summer which gradually lose their leaves to the bare branches of winter.

Ropewalk

Ropewalk is a top-down sock with bands of texture reminiscent of ropes. In my part of the world, east coast of England, fishing and its paraphernalia are abundant. This sock is a gentle knit with an easy textured pattern at intermittent intervals for an interesting knit.

Aquill

Inspired by the English countryside and its flora. Aquill is scalable. In other words, the pattern repeat can be worked any number of times, so you can work the pattern to the length that your yarn quantity will stretch to.

Rockpool Star

A cute seaside-themed trainer sock using a 5 mini skein set. The waves are crashing onto the shore and the starfish are relaxing in their rockpools.

Falchion

Falchion is a corner-to-corner blanket. It is designed so that you can use any amount of yarn. With a simple chevron lace that is mirrored on each side and contrast cornerstones.

Blooming Marvellous

Celebrating Spring; Blooming Marvellous is a pair of toe-up socks with buds, sprouts and leaves to pay homage to the new starts of Spring.

All Butter

All butter shortbread. There's nothing quite like a hot brew with a piece of shortbread on a winter's eve. All Butter is a homage to this warm cosy treat with fork dimple shortbread texture and adorned with tartan ribbons.

Jetson

Jetson are a pair of stranded fingerless mitts. The mitts are knitted in the round and the main body is in a stranded pattern with purl welts at the cuff (reminiscent of ‘The Jetsons’ cartoon!).

Bimble

Bimble is a simple rib stitch pattern but with a little dash of interest with arch shaping and a disappearing pattern on the foot. Worked from the top down using 4 ply / fingering weight yarn with a standard heel flap and gusset.

Golden Foil

Golden Foil stems from goldfoil, which Gerard Manley Hopkins used to poetically describe lightning. Golden Foil is a toe-up sock with an easy heel construction and a simple and enjoyable stitch pattern that is reminiscent of lightning.

Uplifting

Imagine hearts, balloons and joyful colours, and then the name Uplifting might make sense. The pattern is created using only slipped stitches, making it an easy pattern to knit.

Woodland Bells

Woodland Bells are a simple cabled sock pattern using 4 ply/fingering weight yarn, worked from the top down with a pretty cuff. The stitch pattern evokes memories of woodland flowers, such as foxgloves and bluebells. There are multiple sizes to fit your needs.

Fraser Pines

Fraser Pines is a pair of socks that only ever uses one colour at once using a slipped stitch technique, which makes it an easy knit. The leg of the sock are ringed by pine trees moving into a hybrid heel and a relaxing knit on the foot with a few stripes thrown in for fun.
