Sulo Socks

Sweet cables, a little twists here and there, always make my heart sing! And this pair of socks is all about the mirroring cable motifs, wandering their way up the feet and the leg all the way to the cuff ribbing. Sulo Socks are knitted from toe up using gusset increases to make the pair fit nicely. Choose a yarn that shows the cables, like the semisolid pink I used in the sample pair.

Oak Socks

Oh, the love I have for the humble, plain sock. Simple socks are the true workhorse among all the knitted items: they keep our feet warm and happy no matter the weather, and you will always need a pair. For the Oak Socks I have gathered all the good things a simple everyday sock needs: a good fit, a good range of sizes that are easy to alter and a yarn that feels as good as it looks.

Kultaniitty Socks

Golden leaves all around us, the crisp mornings are starting to make my toes feel it: winter will soon be here. I love to feel the morning air on my face, knowing that it will be quite a while before we see green trees again.

Kultaniitty Socks are worked from toe up, with a garter stitch short row heel and a lovely, easy-to-memorize lace pattern floating from foot to leg.
