Hiss Socks

The Hiss socks pattern is now published and available to download.

8 sizes included in pattern, to fit the whole family!

Hiss are toe-up socks with a heel flap and gusset. I designed them for my 7-year old boy who is fascinated by snakes. A simple cable goes up the socks, undulating like a snake. They are ideal to use up small leftovers of yarn, as colour A requires little yarn.

New Sock Design

My Hiss socks are now being tested, they will be available in 8 sizes, from Baby to Men Large!

Here is a little preview:

One Wollmeise Sock Finished

Here it is, once more, if you read this, can you tell me what pattern you see on top of the foot?

Working on a New Pattern in Wollmeise

A pair of toe-up socks with gusset. The pattern is pretty clear to me, but I’ve asked people around me and they can’t figure it out. If you read this, I’d love your feedback, what do you think the pattern on the top of the foot is?

Hearts for My Mum

My mum is going through a rough patch so I’ve decided to knit her something. I’m using some leftover yarn, so I have to make the socks short, otherwise I won’t have enough for two. I included hearts in the design, so she knows how much I care for her…

Here is the first sock I just finished. Knit toe-up.

Manly Socks

I had to go on a trip to France last week and decided to take an easy, mindless project with me for the train ride. So, I made this pair of men’s socks in bamboo sock yarn. They are simple, but I think they are pretty nice men’s socks.

I made them two-at-once on one circular needle, toe-up.
