Slippy V

Stephen West has a new sock pattern. You can purchase the pattern for the Slippy V Socks on Ravelry.

These socks are knit seamlessly in the round starting at the top cuff and finished at the toe. The MC is featured for the cuff, heel, toe, and stockinette stitch stripes of the sock while the CC is used for the slip stitch color pop. Use a bright contrast color or a marled self-striping yarn like Spincycle Yarns Dyed in the Wool. The slip stitch pattern is very fun to knit! You can easily customize the length of the leg and foot of the sock by simply knitting more or fewer stripes. The bottom of the foot is knit in stockinette stitch for a smooth comfortable sole. Choose two colors and enjoy these colorful Westknits socks!

The socks would work great with a solid colour with Crazy Zauberball for the contrast colour.

There will be five brand new colours of Crazy coming very soon. Maybe by the end of the month but probably mid September.

This colour would make great flowers in the Alpine Bloom Tee.

Shelly sent photos of her Alpine Bloom. She is using SweetGeorgia Tough Love Sock with Dyed in the Wool.

Just a photo to show you the two yarns are working out perfectly. It is a sweater that I cannot put down as I want to see how the next colour works out.

The yarn colours are charcoal and devilish grin

The flowers are going to be gorgeous!

My cottage knitting is packed. I’m taking my Trinigan to finish. Alpine Bloom is getting to point of knit, try on, knit some more and try on again. I don’t want to be fussing with it at the cottage.

Here is mine.

The cardigan is knit in one piece to the armholes and then you separate for the back and fronts. One front is finished and the back is almost finished. I can leave it at the cottage for our trips back at the end of August and beginning of September.

Tonight I’m adding new colours of SweetGeorgia Tough Love Sock to the website. These should arrive sometime next week. I will also be adding a new product over the next few days - discontinued colours of Tough Love Sock (these will be priced to sell).

Here is a sneak peek at a few of the colours that are coming. There will be 28 new colours.

Fred came for a visit today. Not the best behaved but cute.
