    The Ultimate Simple Guide to Blocking Your Knitting

    A top-down photo of a pair of light blue socks laid flat on an antique lace-trimmed placemat. The socks have columns of purls running up and down the legs and are pointing to the left. They are surrounded by antique postcards with blue flowers on them, a brass key with a pale pink tassel, and a silver tray full of brass bulb pins.

All my small accessory patterns, including the pattern for the Frontispiece Socks shown in these pictures, are currently on sale on Ravelry and Etsy through May 31. If you comment “sale,” I’ll send you a link to my Ravelry shop.

The sale doesn’t include pattern collections, which are already steeply discounted over the cost of buying the patterns individually. It also doesn’t include patterns published by others, like yarn companies or magazines.

A Continual Smell of Steam will be out on June 5. Mark your calendars.
