Today only, Wrack is on sale on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. Ok, if you still really want to do socks, but you really want them in a hurry, thick yarn + the right pattern can work magic.  This one has a simple design (a little cable at the cuff and toe and ribs in the middle) and looks great in thick yarn.  Seriously...thick cozy socks...they're so much faster, and they feel absolutely glorious.

Today only, Tantamount is on sale on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. Here's another one that's quick (all that stockinette...you can't get much faster than stockinette in the round), comes with options (cables all the way, or just at some selective spots), and will pass muster with your more conservative sock fans!

Today only, Ensnared is on sale on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. A few folks mentioned they were looking for socks they think guys or more conservative sock wearers might enjoy (though really...I'm putting in a vote for exuberant socks being a good choice for everyone regardless of gender).  These are one of my favorites for that.  They're nice, sedate (read "fast") ribbing on the bottom, but with just enough fancy business on the cuff to feel special. What's up? I'm doing a December countdown! Now through Christmas Eve, I'm putting one pattern a day on sale for 25% [...]

Today only, Changeful is on sale on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. So you know how it's so much faster the second (or third...or fourth...) time you knit a pattern?  Yeah, we're taking advantage of that here.  There are three variations of these socks in the pattern.  Each uses the same basic motif (so you can take advantage of that speed boost) but still give everyone something unique! What's up? I'm doing a December countdown! Now through Christmas Eve, I'm putting one pattern a day on sale for 25% off (I'm starting with socks and moving on to quicker and [...]

Today only, Sybaritic is on sale on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. The foot is the secret here...it's what makes these quick enough to consider for gift knitting (if you're starting early...and you're a fast knitter...and you're still feeling optimistic about the month ahead...).  It's mostly stockinette, which is about as speedy as can be.  You can do it! What's up? I'm doing a December countdown! Now through Christmas Eve, I'm putting one pattern a day on sale for 25% off (I'm starting with socks and moving on to quicker and quicker projects as the month goes on). Each [...]

Today only, Anemochory is on sale on ravelry for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. Alrighty...I know a lot of you are shockingly quick knitters (seriously, I've seen you turn out a pair of socks in a long weekend).  But socks are still a bit of an undertaking, so if you're knitting them as presents, I want to make sure you've got plenty of time.  So we'll start the countdown off with socks!  These work up fairly quickly (the pattern is simple enough you'll have it memorized in no time), and it's early in the month...you're still unreasonably optimistic, right?  Right! What's up? I'm [...]

I did this last year and it was so much fun, so I'm doing it again!  Every day between now and December 24th I'll have one book or pattern on sale for 25% off with the code COUNTDOWN. We'll start with socks (because they take a little while to get knit up), and then move on to hats and cuffs and other quicker things as we get further into the month. Each sale will last 24 hours (from 12:01 am until 11:59 pm, eastern time). I've got the blog all set up to show you each day's pattern shortly after [...]
