Yoake
YOAKE (pronounced ‘YOH AH KEH’, means ‘DAWN’ in Japanese) is a toe-up sock with a fun twisted stitch pattern and twisted 2x2 ribbing for the cuff.
I started designing these socks back in February when my dear friend’s partner passed onto another journey. I completely lost my knitting inspiration when Covid-19 hit the globe, continued with injustice towards black and brown people…but I wanted to honor my friend, her partner, and their journey, even with much delay. Sometimes I feel hopeless with so much ugliness in the world but realize that Dawn will always come no matter how hard and ugly life seems to be. I hope these socks will be a reminder for us to never lose hope, even through ups and downs, because Dawn is almost here.
