It was my first ever sock pattern, released back in the spring of 2018 when I was still practicing law. The Santa Rosa Socks have long needed an update, but for some reason, I dragged my feet on it. They are finally ready, though, and the updated pattern will be released on Halloween. They now have five sizes, a new sample, fresh pictures, clearer instructions, and most importantly, thorough tech editing from @techeditor.bluecrabknits.

I like to celebrate with sock sales and lots of content about socks, but I also use it as a reminder to air out all my socks and freshen them up for winter use. They spend the warmer months in a basket, so giving them some regular movement and fresh air helps keep any pests away. Add in some cedar sachets, and we’re in good shape.
Making content is one thing, but making content ab Making content is one thing, but making content about making content? Ah, now that’s art. Anyway, I’ll be here folding all these handknit socks for the foreseeable future.
