I love all your patterns and they are a joy to knit—they are beautiful and classic patterns
I love so many of the patterns that are featured on your website.
This pattern deserves aaall the love!
Your patterns are filled with instructional “moments” and you understand and incorporate the best finishing techniques that take a garment from good to great.
I appreciate Holli Yeoh’s attention to detail. … Even if the recipient has no idea why the finished project is so nice, I know why it’s so nice.

Inspiration for Philodendron
Teen television dramas are one of my guilty pleasures. I also love watching period dramas, in part for the costumes and the knitwear designs they inspire. Reign, a show that focuses on Mary, Queen of Scots’ marriage to the Dauphin of France, offers the best of both of my TV watching passions.

Knitting Under the Sea
Get ready to dive deep into the ocean without getting wet! This virtual weekend of “Knitting Under the Sea” will be a fun-filled voyage where you’ll master mermaid-worthy stitches, craft a tiny crab, learn about kelp forests from an emerging expert, and prepare blackened fish tacos.
My session is Go Fish Duplicate Stitch Party!
Pattern
Tip Toe Up
As the name suggests, the Tip Toe Up sock is worked from the toe to the cuff and has a completely replaceable heel and toe. This is a skill-building pattern with step by step instructions for Turkish cast on, grafting on the needles, a stretchy sewn bind off with no sewing, forethought heel, and heel/toe replacement included.
A recent 6-page addendum includes Holli’s Top Tip Toe Up Tips:
- A Better Way to Minimize Holes;
- Detailed Afterthought Heel instructions and photos;
- Tips for measuring and placing the heel in the right spot for better fit;
- Working with self-striping yarns and coordinating the striping and the heel placement;
- Knitting in the Dark, where I explain how to knit long tubes and then put the toes, heels, cuffs on as an afterthought.
Tutorial
Stretchy Twisted Bind Off for Ribbing
This is my latest favourite way to bind off for toe-up socks. There’s a spring built into this bind off that allows it to stretch over the heel when pulling on socks.
And I’ve got to say, I really quite like the zigzag effect when viewed from above.
