Patterns
Available from the Cast On Shop, or Ravelry.
Brother Amos - Knit with the saints or fry with the sinners, your feet will look great either way. Inspired by the fiery preacher in the British modern classic novel, Cold Comfort Farm, by Stella Gibbons, Brother Amos' socks feature a lace stitch pattern reminiscent of the flickering flames of hell where, according to Brother Amos, we're all doomed to "fritter and fry" for eternity.
Mrs Beeton - A free pattern, first published in Knitty.com, Mrs Beeton wrist warmers are the essence of romance, with soft ruffles that look wonderful peeking out from under a jacket sleeve, and beads that catch the light and sparkle at your wrists.
Driving Miss Daisy - Wrist-length fingerless driving gloves feature a daisy lace stitch pattern on the back of the hand, a thumb gusset for comfort, and a garter stitch wristband with single button closure for a snug and sassy fit.
Isn’t this just brilliant! It is going to be so hard to cut the whole for the leg…lol
Oh Wow what a lifesaver! This looks like it’s Much simpler to adapt to my fussy children as they grow. I loved her last book. Her teaching style is so at ease, it’s wonderful and relaxing to knit with — even though the patterns frequently boggle my mind to start.
I need this book. I have been pondering socks for my husband. He has one quite misshapen foot due to an injury and surgery and,lo, this may just how I need to clothe it. Thank you for keeping on top of the news for me. I hope that you are having a productive creative and refreshing sabbatical and that you and Tonya are happy and well.
I love this idea. Does anyone know where the book is for sale in Europe (or even better: in Belgium or the Netherlands?). Ingenious.
The woman is a sock genius.
I just purchased this book. The process is so brilliantly simple. Cat Bordi is a knitting genius. At last I’ll have a pair–hopefully many pairs–of socks that actually fit!
