Sock kits ready!

Well, my first “shop” update is ready, yay!

There are two types of kits that I am selling in this update, socks and booties. Both are my original patterns, and come with an appropriate amount of yarn to knit them. Some of the skeins have enough length to knit any of the three sizes of socks, and some skeins have only enough for the smaller size, this is noted in the descriptions.

1. Socks – the pattern knits up like this:

Sized in 0-3 months, 6months, and 12 months.

2. Booties – here’s an example of a pair I knitted up using a silk/merino/alpaca blend:

The pattern for the booties is currently only in newborn size, 3.5inches long. They can be knitted flat with a seam at the back, or in the round. The soles can be sewn, or grafted with Kitchener stitch for seamless booties :-)   The shaping uses simple increases and decreases.

And now, the yarns for sale!

I’ve photographed each pair of skeins with one twisted up and one spread out to show the colour progression as it will appear when knitted.

All kits are $14 including postage within Australia.

    Those colourways are beautiful! You obviously have a great eye for colour and know how to make it work. If I had a baby to knit for I’d be buying one of these, probably the autumn leaves… or maybe gerberas… or the marigolds are lovely too… uh-oh, I’d probably buy the lot.

      I tend to spin bulky weight yarn, the pattern uses 5.5mm needles – I can spin finer if you need it :-)
