Hello June

Our June 2026 Crazy Beautiful Color brings big summer energy! Tropical and cheerful pinks and teals layered over a sweet, citrusy, lemon-lime base.

What a beautiful day. This morning dad and I took Fred to the vets. It was a very easy treatment that I’m not going into because it was gross. He’s all good. I brought dad and Fred home and went to the store to pack boxes. They have been dropped at the UPS store and the good daughter that I am I brought home lunch. Now dad has gone off to a jobsite. Fred is not happy with us coming and going. He also isn’t happy that he isn’t at the office with the other dogs.

These are the Icelandscape Socks from Stephen West. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

Gather a colorful palette of sock yarn and cast on these playful socks inspired by the beautiful landscape of Iceland. Begin with short row mountains knitted sideways around the leg. This flat garter stitch short row section is then seamed to for a tube. Stitches are picked up for the broken rib cuff and garter stitch heel flap. The gusset and foot are knitted in the round with a woven slip stitch motif and stockinette stitch for the sole. Knit these socks with four contrasting colors or make a stashbusting pair of Icelandscape Socks with your leftover sock yarn.
