🍂 New colorway: Autumn People 🍂
Inspired by Something Wicked This Way Comes — rich brown garnet, glowing orange, and golden yellow capture that perfect spooky-season mood. Think carnival lights, rustling leaves, and October magic. ✨🎪

A pair of hand-knit socks on someone’s feet, resting on a tiled floor. The socks feature a warm colorwork pattern in brown garnet, orange, and yellow, with orange toes and heels, and a deep brown cuff. The intricate design has a repeating geometric motif that feels autumnal.

The pair of socks is laid flat on a black surface, neatly stacked one over the other. The brown cuff, orange toe and heel, and the warm patterned colorwork in brown garnet, orange, and yellow are fully visible, highlighting the even stitches and cozy autumn aesthetic.

What vibes do these colors give you? This is the starting palette for my next socks. Can’t wait to see how they knit up together. Happy Friday!!

Thank you, wish I could claim to be a natural, but it took 20 years of failing till I managed the perfect fitting sock. ❤️ Snug and warm like a hug.

Off to final photography, I love how these turned out ❤️. Expect these to be available to buy in the shop this week!

🍂 Coming soon… still on the needles, but already dreaming of autumn walks, crackling fires, and mugs of warm apple cider. Rich, storybook-inspired colors are taking shape—can you guess the name? 🧶✨ #comingsoon #handknitsocks #cozyknits #fairisleknitting #sockknitting #etsyseller

Spent the weekend organizing my digital craft journal into Notion and still had time to finish two small projects. #hotofftheneedles #knitting #cowl #headband #knitpicks

First project off the needles for 2025. Used the #antlertoque by tincanknits pattern (find it on Ravelry!). Great pattern for busting through my rando stash and interested to see how the fit changes once blocked.

Whew! Only took me three tries to finish the ONE glove, but I’m loving the look and feel. Definitely going to have to make its mate and block these babies. #knitting #wip #fingerlessglove #knitpicks #knitpicksswishyarn #newskills

I guess I can call this my “first finish” if 2025. Knitted in December, but blocked in January. 💪 My first sweater done (kid’s size).
