Sock Hop

Susan and I are proud to announce............

Bunny Sock Hop

By popular demand we are starting a subscription sock of the every other month club. Folks have been so enthusiastic about our hand dyed colorways and my sock patterns that we are venturing into this arena.

Hopping over months with hand dyed and original pattern sock kits that will come out in November, January, March, May, July and September with an optional special bonus kit in June. Many of the descriptions are still a bit sketchy. I will add to them as the creative juices flow and the patterns are clearer to me and tested.

Our first offering will be sent out around November 10, with still enough time to make this neat present for someone special-- even you.

Each month will bring you a unique pattern with enough yarn to make up to a large pair of women's socks or up to a medium pair of men's. Directions will be given for small, med and large women's sizes. Most of the socks will be using a #2 or #3 dpn. Those of you who do Magic Loop can easily translate.

November is Evergreen - hand dyed (MC) forest greens and deep blue greens in a soft angora/merino yarn paired with (CC) white angora/merino yarn. This pattern will feature a charted snowy pine tree on each side of the cuff/leg. Very striking, sophisticated and warm.

January is Snowflakes - hand dyed blues on white angora/merino yarn knit in a snowflake lace pattern. Just the ticket for those wintry days.

March is Thinking of Spring - hand dyed superwash merino/tencel yarn in a spring flower. This one will feature a floral pattern and may include a contrasting color.

May is Blueberry Buckle - a delicious dessert to knit. This pattern will be a toe-up sock featuring bobbles and a picot cast off. Sweet.

July is Summer Fruit Salad - in superwash merino/tencel. A bright short sock with a juicy ruffled cuff.

September is Natural - a warmer thicker sock in natural silver gray alpaca/wool which will appeal to both men and women.

OPTIONAL BONUS - June is Roses for You - even if you already have this colorway, the pattern will make these socks look very different from the one you have already made. It features a panel of rose leaves down the front, with a charted rose in #5 embroidery thread on the heel and a turned cuff with leaves encircling the sock.

****I reserve the right to modify any of these descriptions to make a more interesting kit for you. ****
