Why I’m Limiting My Catalog of Patterns

Let's knit some really cute socks together

I talk to myself a lot while working on my designs I talk to myself a lot while working on my designs. Like, a lot a lot. Like, I'm not always comfortable working in public spaces because I never really know when I'm muttering out loud to myself. If I'm honest, sometimes these conversations with myself get a little chaotic. Here are some actual things I have thought to myself (and maybe muttered out loud) while working on writing my patterns. Because it's not the designing part that causes the headaches for me, most of the time. It's figuring out how to grade that design and then put it into usable, streamlined instructions.
Your fun fact for the day: an incunabulum is a cat Your fun fact for the day: an incunabulum is a category of book printed before 1501. It doesn't refer to a manuscript, which must be written by hand using a quill, but to books created so early in the printing era that they have become especially prized by collectors and scholars who study early printing. During the 1500s, as movable type began to take hold across Europe, the volume of printed books and pamphlets grew exponentially, so the value of those later books for some rare book collectors is lower. The Incunabulum Socks have alternating textured rows with eyelet zig-zags and 1x1 ribbing that remind me of boxes of typeset letters organized into rows. The socks are knit from the cuff down and graded to five sizes. A heel flap and gusset provide an adjustable fit.
My collaboration with @expressionfiberarts is almo My collaboration with @expressionfiberarts is almost here! These two patterns have been so much fun to work on, and each has stretched my design muscles in new ways. I think you'll enjoy knitting them, too. The patterns will both be available on November 11 via Expression Fiber Arts. I can't wait to share them with you.
It’s pattern release day! The pattern for the Incu It’s pattern release day! The pattern for the Incunabulum Socks is now available both on its own and as part of the Golden Honey Sock Club. This is the first time I’ve done horizontal stripes all the way down a pair of socks, and it was so much fun playing with how those stripes were going to work! Many thanks to @sewhappyjane for the yarn support for this design. It was just the right green for my intended color palette 🥰
