Snow Day

I was up early and thought about getting to the store before the storm but Beth vetoed that and I’m glad she did. The snow has been blowing here all day.

Our Christmas planter doesn’t look happy.

Stephen West has a new sock pattern. These are the Painting Bricks Socks and you can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

Dive into your sock yarn stash and knit these painterly socks. One main color in garter stitch frames the contrast color pops with a simple slip stitch technique. The contrast colors are perfect for using leftover sock yarns and mini skeins. This pattern is knit top-down, so you can easily customize the length of the leg and foot while you knit. Be brave and have fun customizing the color story for your own unique pair of Painting Bricks Socks!



There is another option for purchasing the pattern. You can purchase the ebook on Ravelry.

Starting January 1, the e-book price is the regular €36 (excl. VAT), so sign up in December to get €6 off! The total value of this e-book is €78 including all 13 patterns! 

Enjoy a year filled with Westknits sock patterns with a brand new sock e-book! When you sign up by purchasing the e-book on Ravelry or westknits.com, you will immediately receive the Painting Bricks Sock pattern. Then, you will receive a new pattern update each month in 2023 with a new sock pattern for 13 total socks! The sock patterns are all suitable for beginner knitters and adventurous beginners with video tutorials linked in the patterns to help you cast on and work any special techniques. There will be a range of techniques from simple stripes and slipped stitches to fun textures like cables. Many of the patterns will coordinate with your favorite Westknits shawls and sweaters. Let’s knit along all year and fill our drawers with colorful socks!

I will make every effort to get to the store tomorrow. Right now it looks like Beth will drive me but we’ll have to see how the weather is in the morning.

I’m not sure why I’m tired. All I did today was knit, nap and eat but I’m ready for bed. Stay safe and warm.
