It's a mystery....

There is mystery in the air... I have designed a mystery sock for the Knitting Goddesses and Gods group on Ravelry, all the proceeds from the pattern sales are going to Macmillan, I know from personal experience how important the work Macmillan do is and I'm proud to be supporting them.



The pattern is designed with self striping yarn in mind but the pattern will look great in pretty much any yarn, there are some pictures of the first clue in the group, come and have a look! If you buy the pattern you will get the first clue and the next 3 clues will be set out as updates on the 8th, 15th and 22nd of May - I love a mystery KAL! You can buy the pattern here.

In the absence of photos I have decorated this post with my favourite detectives.....

Ianthe Socks

This is my new pattern - Ianthe (Rav Link)

They are designed using The Knitting Goddess Take 5 sock yarn, so they are stripey, there seem to have been a lot of stripes in my knitting lately (and there is more to come soon). These are lacey and delicate but also have strong lines, they are perfect for summer, which is good because spring has arrived with a bang here and the last few days have been hot and sunny - although at the start of last week I was wearing a woolen scarf so I'm not ruling out the return of the cold horrible weather!

The Purple pair are colourway Chocolate Box and the green pair are colourway Meadow - I love green, more than any other colour, the greens in this set are so gorgeous, olive and moss and deep forest green, I loved knitting with them.



You can also knit this pattern in just one colour - this pair are The Knitting Goddess Merino Nylon Sock in the Birthstone Club colour Aquamarine - this is my sisters favourite colour so these are a gift to her (also as a thank you for modelling for the photos!)

And the lovely Take 5 yarn is here - my particular favourites in the shop at the moment are Aqua and Not Just Pretty
