Introducing the Starling & Perfect for Hand-Dyed Socks Patterns

As you know I’ve been knitting a lot of socks. And the designing bug has bit me. I’ve just finished two new sock patterns.

Starling Sock Pattern
Was inspired as I listened to those talkative birds one morning in early spring. The North American Starling has a reputation as an invasive species of bird that has strong feet, and a gregarious nature. Knit with vibrant stripping yarn this sock, like the Starling will be both strong footed and expressive.

Perfect for Hand-Dyed Socks Pattern
Every sock knitter seems to be unexplainably drawn to those amazingly variegated Hand-Dyed yarns. We can’t seem to get enough of them. But let’s be honest, Hand-Dyed yarns can be difficult to pair with a pattern. Either the complexity of the pattern is lost in the variegation of the colors, or the color pattern spiraling up the leg distracts from the stitch pattern as the eye focuses on the pooling or a zigzagging of colors. This pattern is the perfect solution to that problem. The pattern smoothly transitions from one color to the next, effectively confusing the eye and disrupting any sort of color patterning.
Both Patterns are now available for purchase in my Etsy shop.
