Excursion is on sale for 25% off on ravelry or payhip with the code COUNTDOWN. Do I have a lot of slippers? Yes. Do I feel bad about that? No. I mean I basically wear them like extra powerful socks. Extra warm, extra thick, extra cozy socks.  That means I shove my feet in them and drag them all over the floor.  That, in turn, means I was them fairly often (no, we won't be discussing exactly how often, a lady needs her secrets).  Often enough that sometimes one pair is drying and I need another pair to wear.  Besides, [...]

Burgeoning is on sale for 25% off on ravelry or payhip with the code COUNTDOWN. Look, knit slippers are magic. They take so much less time than knit socks (you don't have to do a leg...it's just the foot...and you're using thicker yarn so the foot doesn't even take as long as a proper sock foot does). They're unspeakably cozy (wear them by themselves or over socks...i may occasionally shove my slippered foot in my boots to check the mail in the winter). They're easy to bring along and pop on in a hotel room or in a friend's house [...]

Ensnared is on sale for 25% off on ravelry or payhip with the code COUNTDOWN. Ok look, I am a the last person you want setting fashion rules (can we all please just wear cozy pajamas all the time? I think things would be better if we made 'comfy' the most important factor in picking clothes from here on out).  But every now and then folks write to me asking which socks to make for the person in their lives who likes very sedate socks.  And really? This is a terrible thing to ask me because my initial response is [...]

Sybaritic is on sale for 25% off on ravelry or payhip with the code COUNTDOWN. Ok, this is making me miss socks. I don't think I've actually knit a pair of socks since, um, 2017? Now to be fair, I did design a bunch of socks (whole book of them actually) between now and then.  But I haven't actually knit any in more than three years (I have lovely sample knitters who help with book socks if you're wondering how that whole design them but don't knit them thing worked out).  And mostly I'm fine with that...tiny needles, tight gauge, [...]

Anemochory is on sale for 25% off on ravelry or payhip with the code COUNTDOWN. I should do more socks with shaped arches.  They're just so pretty.  They make your foot look all graceful and curvy and swoopy and not at all like a baked potato trying to hide its lumpen nature inside a casing of lovely knitting.  I mean it helps if you can press someone with actual arches in their feet (instead of me, the flat footed wonder) into service as your model.  But even on my feet, these end up looking far more delicate than you'd ever [...]

Indomitable is on sale for 25% off on ravelry or payhip with the code COUNTDOWN. Look, I have feelings about socks. They can't be boring (so all ribbing all the time is out). But they also can't be hard (because too many things are hard right now thanks very much). They need to be pretty (because I'm not wasting my time on ugly socks). But they also need to appeal to someone besides just me (because in theory I want other folks to make them too).  It's a lot to expect from a sock, but I sort of suspect these [...]
