How to Order



  • NEW! Second of the 2007 club kits: The COOKIE'S GARDEN sock

     
       
    "Aunt Cookie's garden has become a sort of reseeding mecca. The plants settle where they feel like it. Since my last visit, I notice that the coreopsis has moved several arcs in a clockwise direction, while the dill is spread indiscriminately from compost pile to rosebush."
    Robin Chotzinoff,
    People with Dirty Hands

    A sock inspired by my mother and her garden....



  • NEW! First of the 2007 club kits: The CLEOPATRA sock

     
       
    AGE CANNOT WITHER HER,
    NOR CUSTOM STALE
    HER INFINITE VARIETY


    A sock inspired by the last of the Ptolemaic Pharaohs....







  • The VINTAGE sock

     
       
    When I was young, at my mother's breast -
    Sing ho! for the wind and the rain!
    A vintage wine was my sole request,
    For the rain it rain'd and rain'd ev'ry day....


    A sock inspired by the autumn grape harvest, and by Falstaff's brindisi; a sock that cradles your foot in unimaginable comfort.



  • KITRI'S MANTILLA

     
       
    You always knew that Kitri would be a shawl someday; now it is. A tremendous sweeping shawl, fans within a fan, decadent beading dripping from the edges.



  • The Tcirc-Keeper


       
    Simple but eloquent:
    • keep your WIP on your needles;
    • keep your needles from poking through your bag;
    • protect your pretty wooden or bamboo needles from damage.
    What's not to love?

  • Free Pattern: The BLUE STOCKING



    (Click on thumbnail for full-size image of cover)
        A sexy, saucy, slightly silly sock with a more than passing resemblance to the fishnet stockings of yesteryear; a tribute to Knitters’ Suffrage and the Power of Knitters. To women who Own Their Knitting. To Knitters Who Represent.

    Blue Stocking is a FREE pattern - a PDF available for download. You can see more pictures of the finished sock on my blog at: Love is Blue. For more on the development of the sock, read Knitting the Blues (yarn porn and initial idea), That Dratted Helen (heel detail), and Behind the Veil (stitch pattern).

    Read Blue Stocking Pattern Update (and Am I Blue?) for still more details.

    NEW!!!! The Blue Stocking is now available as a direct PDF download from my Ravelry Store!
