Love a certain range of colors but can never decide on just one? The Cascade shawl lets you blend them all into a cascade of colors. Knit a color gradient or fade one color into another. You decide on the order and on the size of the shawl. Knit all garter stitch or alternate with mesh lace. Make it your own!

I recently designed some shorty socks (a bit above the ankle) in worsted weight yarn, perfect for the loose gauge knitter. My daughter Sara (the original Sassy) loves them, as do her sisters. My 90-year-old Aunt Zipora also loves them, but she hates wearing short socks, so I adapted the Sassy Socks into higher Zippy Zocks.

My daughter Sara’s nickname is Sassy. She asked me to knit her a sock that was short and sassy, something she could easily wear with leggings and Ugg boots. I came up with this pattern that knits a quick sock in worsted weight yarn.
