Enzo is a sleeveless jacket with a modern look, designed with the active children in mind, with roomy pockets to gather many treasures of course!

The sixth design in the “British Inventors and Scientists” collection is not a sock… XNOR is a nod to Boolean Algebra, introduced by George Boole, English mathematician and logician during the 19th century.

Worn over a light flannel shirt, Lorraine keeps her core warm when Little Miss is busy exploring the garden.

The fifth design in the “British Inventors and Scientists” collection is a tribute to Alan Turing. Mathematician, cryptanalyst, logician, pioneer in computer science, Alan Turing has played a key role in the development of computers, and the concept of algorithm.

Titi Parisien is inspired by the fictional character of Gavroche, street urchin in the novel ‘Les Misérables’ by Victor Hugo (1862).

On the South-facing wall of the beautiful Walled Garden, a heavy iron gate gives access to a little path to the woods.

When the cat is away, the mice have a gig on your feet! The Mice Will Play features cat paws which swirl around your leg, lace ribbing on the rest of the sock, and an original textured heel flap, for a feminine and fraternal pair of socks.

The fourth design in the “British Inventors and Scientists” collection is a tribute to Ada Lovelace (1815-1852). Mathematician and writer, she is regarded as the first “computer programmer” .

Romane is a first name used in France for little girls. Roman is a first name used in the UK for little boys. Yet, both names are pronounced exactly the same. Maybe Romane and Roman could share their cardigan…

Towards the end of the visit of Castle Fraser, one gets to enter the vast library, created by Colonel Charles Mackenzie Fraser.

Square or triangular, often featuring a garter stitch center and feather and fan border, haps enthuse knitters all over the world. Mini Hap Cowl is a lightweight interpretation of the traditional Shetland cosy shawls.

“Nid d’abeilles” is the French for the structural element of “Honeycomb”, and means literally “nest of bumblebees”: a textured and comfortable garment to snuggle into during al fresco diners.

To explore the many contributions of Sir Isaac Newton to science would have required many pairs of socks. “Axiomata” is a tribute to just a few of his findings, from classical mechanics to optics, and takes its name from Axiomata sive Leges Motus, in which Newton defined the Universal Laws of Motions.

What more appropriate to complement the Axiomata socks, inspired by Sir Isaac Newton, than a couple of apples, fallen from a woolly tree? This is the reason behind the Newton’s Apple design: a need for a squishy woolly apple for the final pictures of the socks.

Just a few metres away from the walls of Castle Fraser, thousands of daffodils cover the ground. The bright yellow and orange of the flowers, symbol of Spring and renewal, contrast beautifully with the subtle colours of the stones.

With reference to the well-known “pea problem” that a princess once happened to have, the Princess Sole consists in the smoothest, softest of all soles, with the “right side” of the stocking stitch in contact with the skin, and the naughty purl bumps on the outside of the sock.

“Photo 51” is a tribute to Rosalind Franklin, whose X-ray diffraction image of DNA has played a significant role in the discovery of the DNA double helix model by Francis Crick, James Watson and Maurice Wilkins.

Having lived in Scotland for a few years now, I have learned to appreciate the many types of rain the British weather has to offer.

Inside Castle Fraser (Aberdeenshire, Scotland) is a little room, with a woodcarving of a standard-bearer sheep in a recess on the wall. Of French origins, the Fraser family descends from continental settlers, as part of the Norman infiltration in the 12th century. The Scottish standard-bearer sheep is strangely similar to the emblem of a large ...

Don’t sit on the fence: jump in with both feet!

Inspired by the lovely shape of the many turrets of Castle Fraser (Scotland), especially the bell-shaped one which leads to the very top of the Round Tower, flanked on each side with beautifully carved stone balustrades…

These historically inspired socks draw their design elements from the impressive sculptural facade of Castle Fraser. The granite walls and decorative stonework of the castle is interspersed by many regularly placed windows while the top of the might round tower is encircled by a ring of beautifully carved stone balustrades.

Cuff up, or folded down for two different styles. Colourful linen stitch, and I-cord details, for added interest. And an uncommon linen stitch heel flap too!

One can never have enough bags. Bags

“Somewhere on the train from Aberdeen to Inverness (Scotland), there was a little hill with a flock of sheep having a nap in the sun. Some of the sheep were white, some were dark. And they were scattered all over the hill like a checkerboard. They were playing Sheepy Draughts, for sure.

“Originally designed to complement the Christmas “Scot”-ing, these cushions quickly became loveable favourite items of the household.

“As Robbie Burns day approached, and as the snow was upon us, I thought it would be a treat for my little one to have long handsome socks to keep his legs warm and cosy. What better way to celebrate the traditions of my Scottish home than to knit a pair of Kilt Hose?

A word from the designer: “With the comfort of my sweet little one in mind, I wanted to design a very soft and warm hat. Lofty and incredibly soft, the Rowan Lima was perfect for it. Alpaca is definitely one of the warmest fibres one can knit with!
