Where to begin… Today feels like a dream come true – my new book, My Dream Knits, is now available for preorder from Laine Publishing and your favourite LYS!

I’m so happy to share my newest design with you: The Geraldine Scarf! It is everything I love in a layering piece: cozy, lightweight, and endlessly versatile. Knit with a touch of mohair, it has a soft halo that makes it irresistibly warm without being heavy.

Months are turning ever so quickly and here we are, nearing the end of the summer already. Today I have another sort of new pattern to share with you: Blue Hour Socks.

Usva truly celebrates the kind of knitting I return to time and time again—textures that soothe, shapes that wrap and comfort, and yarn that brings it all to life. The shawl was originally designed for Laine Magazine’s Finnish Knits special volume.

Now, I’m happy to share that all Stripes patterns are finally available as individual downloads in English! Whether you’ve had your eye on a particular sweater, shawl, or hat, you can now pick and choose your favorites—just in time for a bit of summer knitting inspiration.

Summer is here, and it’s the perfect time to cast on something new—whether it’s breezy tops for warm days, cozy knits for cool evenings, or a fresh project for your holiday knitting bag. To celebrate the season, I’m offering 20% off all pattern orders over 10€ from now through June 22nd.

On today’s post I wanted to dive a little deeper in a big question in sock knitting. When you are knitting socks, first you need to choose direction. Toe-Up vs. Cuff-Down; which one is right for you?

How is our sock knit-along going on your end? So far I have finished one and a half new socks (of 2 new designs) and I’m also pretty excited to start one more new design idea… Sock knitting is a big deal for me this Spring! But other than that, I also wanted to chat a bit about the most feared and fun part of sock knitting: The Heel!

Continuing my series of blog posts on sock knitting! We have already talked about bit about the yarn choices, now it’s time to cast on. This might be a bit late for us all considering our sock KAL, but it’s nice to know about all the options for future reference! You might even use an alternative method for your second sock!

Today I’m also starting a series of posts on sock knitting! I know this has been the theme this Spring, but it certainly started way earlier: socks are my new favourite little thing to knit. First and foremost it’s time to take a closer look at all the yarn options we have for sock knitting.
