A Few Pairs of Socks For Sale

In addition to mittens for sale, I have a few pairs of socks that would like to go to a new home. I am offering these socks for sale, not with the intent of making a profit, but rather to ask just a bit above cost to make some money to feed my yarn habit.

If you are interested in purchasing these socks please email me and I will let you know the shipping costs.


Summer Vacation Socks

These socks contain a pleasing mix of blues, greens and yellows. The colour’s name is “summer vacation” and it jumped out at me when I was trying to find something to knit while we were off on our summer vacation.  The pattern is made of a wavy rib that forms a mock cable.

• Size: Women’s medium-large
• Content: 75% Superwash Merino Wool, 25% Nylon
• Care: Machine wash, gentle cycle/tumble dry low, or dry flat
• Price: $25.00 (CAD) plus shipping costs

 

Snow Crocus Socks

These socks came to life when I spotted the ball of yarn with the colour name “snow crocus”. The name was perfect as the yarn has a beautiful blend of purple, yellow and green, against a light background that brings to mind the colours that are seen when the first crocuses of the year come up. The pattern has a plain back set off by a set of cables running down the front of the sock to the top of the toe.

• Size: Women’s medium-large
• Content: 80% Merino Wool, 20% Nylon
• Care: Machine wash, gentle cycle/tumble dry low, or dry flat
• Price: $25.00 (CAD) plus shipping costs

Castle Walls Socks

The colour name for these socks, “castle walls”, captures the subtle shades of grey and beige. The touch of alpaca in the yarn makes them a wonderfully soft treat for the feet. The pattern is an all over rib with a cable detail running down the side.

  

• Size: Women’s medium-large
• Content: 50% Merino Wool, 25% Superfine Alpaca, 25% Nylon
• Care: Hand wash, dry flat (unless you don’t mind a bit of felting, then you could machine wash on a gentle cycle and dry flat)
• Price: $25.00 (CAD) plus shipping costs

 

A Few Pairs of Mitts For Sale

I’ve rummaged through my tickle trunk and determined I have a few pairs of mittens that are in need of a good home. I am offering these mittens for sale, not with the intent of making a profit, but rather to ask just a bit above cost to make some money to feed my yarn habit.

If you are interested in purchasing these mittens please email me and I will let you know the shipping costs.

 

Neapolitan Mittens

These mittens combine chocolate brown, light strawberry pink, and creamy vanilla colours into a combination reminiscent of Neapolitan ice cream.

• Size: Medium (but should fit most hands)
• Content: 100% Peruvian Highland Wool
• Care: Hand wash/dry flat (that’s the official instruction, but since I like the look of mittens that are slightly felted, I just put mine in the washing machine on a gentle cycle)
• Price: $25.00 (CAD) plus shipping costs

Currant Mittens

These mittens are made from a deep currant/burgundy colour offset by a nice dark ash grey.

• Size: Medium/Small (should fit most hands, but will be snug on a larger hand)
• Content: 100% Peruvian Highland Wool
• Care: Hand wash/dry flat (that’s the official instruction, but since I like the look of mittens that are slightly felted, I just put mine in the washing machine on a gentle cycle)
• Price: $25.00 (CAD) plus shipping costs

Fall Mittens - SOLD

These mittens are called “Fall Mittens” because I finished them just as summer was turning to fall. They are made of a lovely orange and yellow combination with a navy blue highlight for interest on the cuff.

• Size: Medium/Small (should fit most hands, but the cuff will be snug on a larger wrist)
• Content: 100% Peruvian Highland Wool
• Care: Hand wash/dry flat (that’s the official instruction, but since I like the look of mittens that are slightly felted, I just put mine in the washing machine on a gentle cycle)
• Price: $25.00 (CAD) plus shipping costs

Stay tuned for a sock sale. I found some of those in the trunk too.

Vacation - Day 1

Today was spent sewing. I sewed and sewed and sewed (with some pressing along the way.) Due to the secret status of the project I cannot show my efforts, but by 11:30 am I had used up a 200 metre spool of thread and had to run out to get more thread (and a Starbucks – just 2 cups away from Gold status!)

To show something of what I’ve been up to lately, I am still progressing on making wreath ornaments. Here are a few that I’ve completed this week. If you would like to purchase a wreath, they are for sale for $10 each. The one's below are no longer available, but let me know what colour you would like and I will be happy to make one for you. email me to purchase
