And a good morning to you on this cold and frosty day.
I'm really pleased to be able to share my latest pattern with you today - the Rosthwaite socks.
This pattern was designed as part of my Sock Design Challenge which I ran in September and invited you lovely readers and members of my Ravelry and Facebook pages to vote on key design elements.
The overwhelming vote was for top down socks with some fun stitch detail and nothing too complicated or stressful, and I really hope that you like the finished product as mych as I do.
As a bit of a change for me I have also worked these socks with an afterthought heel. The more I work this heel type the more pleased I am with it and if you have never tried it, maybe this is the project to start you off.
There are a lot of amazing resources on the web and I highly recommend the following as a good place to start.
The Knit Girllls have a fabulous tutorial: here
And excellent blog posts on the subject can be found here and here.
I really do hope you decide to give them a try. As a thank you for all your support and encouragement I'm offering a 25% discount until Nov 30th, 2014 with the code Rosthwaite.
Happy Knitting
