This pattern (along with most of my earlier work) was retired in the summer of 2022. However, it may be available for a few days once or twice a year. Read on for details!
In the summer of 2022, I realized that maintaining a back catalog of hundreds of patterns was kind of overwhelming. I couldn’t do it and still release new things. So I took my old patterns down so I could keep doing new work.
Since then, a handful of my favorites have come back, and lovely new things have come out. But the vast majority of the old patterns are retired and will no longer be generally available.
However, enough folks have asked about some old favorites that I’m planning to make many of the retired patterns available for a few days once or twice a year (most likely in late spring and then again in the fall around Thanksgiving).
- If you see the buy buttons on this page, you’ve caught it on one of the days it’s available, and you’re welcome to grab it!
- If you don’t see the buy buttons on this page, then it’s not currently available.
- If you want to hear when the retired patterns will be available, subscribe to the mailing list or patreon, or keep an eye on my instagram.
Water works magic. How else do you explain my delight when I find a perfectly smooth piece of sea glass? Normally, glass on the ground is litter and fills me with dismay. But, if it’s been worn down by the sand and the water, it feels like I’ve stumbled upon a magical gemstone. These socks, with their soft lines and rounded edges, remind me of perfectly smooth pieces of glass just waiting to be discovered.
This is one of those socks that’s very easy to describe (ribbing grows out of the side of the heel flap and wraps around your foot at a marvelously becoming angle), and easy to knit (knit your knits and purl your purls and you’ve got it), but surprisingly tedious to actually write out. The charts look a little odd, and you have to do a bit of funny business with stitch markers, but after a row or two you’ll have the rhythm.
