Guess what’s going on this weekend! VKL NYC! 🥳 If you’re in the New York area and want to see, squish, and take home a skein or two of the GORGEOUS yarn I got to use in my Smoke and Bone and Bridges sock design, head to @selenamiskin’s WayfaringYarns booth! I used her Wayfarer base (merino cashmere nylon! 🤤) in her stunning Prague Glazed colorway 😍 She’ll have kits of yarn available that include a free copy of my Smoke and Bone and Bridges pattern! In addition, all of Selena’s other yarn is amazingly beautiful and high quality as well. Visit her booth if you can!

🎊Test Knitter Spotlight! 🎊 I have two last, fabulous Smoke and Bone and Bridges socks test knitters to spotlight today. 🎊First up is @linshopova, who knit the fantastic pink socks in the M size. She used @rowanyarns Cashsoft and, wow, does that beautiful yarn make the pattern pop! 🎊Last, but certainly not least, is @tracyleftwich, who knit the stunning sunset orange socks in the XS size for her little one. She used @malabrigoyarn Sock in Terracotta 🧡 Tracy was especially awesome in this test - I was stuck without an XS size tester and she came through when I sent out the cry for help! 🎊Thank you both for your excellent help with this pattern. It would not be the same without you and I so appreciate your participation and feedback!

Happy New Year! 🥳 I wish you a happy, healthy, and yarn-filled 2020! Very appropriately, I’m welcoming 2020 with knitting and Critical Role ❤️ How are you ushering in the New Year?

🧶Test Knitter Spotlight!🧶 Oh man, I got so lucky with test knitters for my Smoke and Bone and Bridges socks! I have two more wonderful testers to shine the light on today. 🧶First up is @toritoiva , who knit the gorgeous green-gray tweed socks in the L size. She used @forestfiberarts BFL Tweed sock in Eucalyptus and it’s a perfect pair. I love the pops of tweed in the calming green. 🧶My next tester is @wengshufen , who knit the beautiful stripey socks in the S size. She used @adriafil_filati_made_in_italy Yuppy to get those fun stripes. I’ve been lucky enough to work with @wengshufen before and was so glad to get to work with her again! 🧶Thank you, @toritoiva and @wengshufen , for all your hard work and feedback during the test! You both really helped make the pattern better!
