And here's some additional looks at the Heritage Tweed Vest!
First published in I Like Knitting, the pattern is now available in all the usual places - you can find it in my Web Shop, on Etsy, Ravelry, or as a download for Patrons!
Summer's here in force (along with the heat waves, so, stay cool out there!)! So, with gardens blooming, it seemed fitting that July's Knit-Along Pattern is the Garden Lace Socks - perfect socks for summer!
And, if you don't have the pattern, don't worry, it's 50% off for the month of July!
These socks come from several ideas, but the biggest one was the idea of travelling lace leaves. I fell in love with this motif the first time I saw it, and this seemed the perfect place to use it! When I was working the partial garter rib, it reminded of a newly sown garden, all in neat lines. Hence, the name of the socks was a relatively easy choice!
Don't worry, if you don't have the pattern, it's 50% off through the month of July during the Knit-Along!
Plus, if you finish a pair of socks by the end of July you have the chance to win a $25 USD Gift Card from Knit Picks or, a $30 CAD Gift Card from The Knitting Loft!
If you're outside Canada or the US, sadly, I can't do gift certificates, but, you can, instead win 4 patterns of your choice from my web shop.
Other cool stuff to know:
The stitch pattern is charted and written, and the lace stitch repeat is pretty quick to memorize, so this makes a great 'purse socks' project!
The pattern has a large-print version for folks who need it (this version also works with screen-reading tech)
My sock patterns are all 'needle agnostic', so you can use whatever sock knitting method you prefer: double-points, magic loop, two circulars, it doesn't matter, it will work for this pattern!
All my patterns are Gender Agnostic. There's no "Men's" or "Woman's" Sizing (what even is a 'woman's small', anyway /sigh/?), my self-published patterns are all sized by measurements only.
On that note, these socks come in two adult sizes, with a leg circumference: 7.5 (9) inches or, 19 (23) cm. The leg height and foot length are adjustable.
As written, the socks use 294 to 349 yards (269 to 319 meters) of sock yarn.
These socks were knit using Fleece Artist's BFL Sock Yarn, now discontinued. If substituting yarns, any BFL or Wool Blend sock yarn should knit up just fine for these socks!
If you're a Patron, you can download the pattern here

Good Luck, and Happy Knitting!
So here's some more views of the re-released Pine Cone Vest! First published in Knotions Magazine, it's now available in my webshop (and all the other usual places of Etsy, Ravelry, and Patreon!)
It's designed to be a comparatively easy knit; worked in the round to the underarms, then split and finished working flat. The neck and underarms are edged in simple 1 by 1 ribbing, making this a great project for someone who wants to try something more complicated than dishcloths and scarves.
It comes in 10 adult sizes, ranging from a 28 inch bust to a 64 inch bust measurement; and also has a large-print version that's compatible with screen reader technology. Because everyone deserves to make and wear things that they love! 💙
So I'm on an (unintentional!) roll with the pattern release this month, and the Mosaic Hat is now available on Ravelry, in my Web Shop, on Etsy, and as a download for the Pattern Muses on Patreon!
It’s designed to be the perfect weight for a lightweight spring hat, and the Mosaic Knitting technique means that it’s an easy knit without the fear of taming colourwork floats!
This hat comes in 3 sizes (Adult Small, Medium, and Large), with a full head circumference of 24 to 29 inches, though, if that sounds too big, please don't panic, as the brim of the hat pulls in quite a bit!
Sample is knit in Stitch Please's Amethyst Label, now sadly, discontinued. Pretty much any sock or fingering-weight yarn would work up well here, though I wouldn't recommend anything with a lot of fuzz, since that would obscure the colourwork. My yarn suggestions include: Sweet Georgia Yarns Tough Love Sock, Knit Picks Twill Fingering, or Malabrigo Ultimate Sock. (yarn links are affiliate links, meaning I get a commission if you make a purchase - there's no additional cost to you!)
The Mosaic Hat pattern has both written and charted instructions for the Mosaic Stitch pattern, and also has a large print version that's compatible with screen-reading technology that's included as a secondary download. No hiding additional accessibility features behind a paywall here!

This two-colour beret-style hat is perfect for those partial skeins of sock yarn where there’s not enough left to make a sock but still enough for a project

The pattern is 50% off for the month of July, plus, if you finish a pair of socks by the end of July, you have the chance to win a Gift Card from Knit Picks. (US/Canada only at the moment, sorry!) or 4 patterns of your choice from my web shop!
Other cool stuff to know:
The stitch pattern is written only (no need for charts with this one!)
The pattern has a large-print version for folks who need it (this version also works with screen-reading tech)
It comes in three sizes: with a leg circumference of 7 (8, 9) inches, 18 (20.5, 23) cm, and adjustable foot and leg length.
Sample is in Lichen and Lace’s 80/20 Sock, which is 80% Superwash Merino, and 20% Recycled nylon. Any standard fingering-weight sock yarn should sub in well for this pattern.

. . . . Yes, part of my inspiration for these socks was the Lord of the Rings movies. /sigh/

Oh, wow, it's (almost) June! Those of you who've hung around this blog long enough know that that means a new Knit or Crochet-Along - and the Spring Leaves Market Bag is the Featured Pattern and Knit Along for June!

It comes in one size, but it's easily adjustable.
Sample is shown in a (now discontinued) Flax/Cotton blend, but any aran-weight or heavy worsted weight cotton or cotton blend would work wonderfully - an acrylic would also work well here, too!
