Love all of these patterns, … you’re so good at deceptive (and really smart) simplicity!
As a pattern designer, your attention to detail and your fashion sense and creativity, are second to none.
You’re one of the best designers I’ve worked with, and I appreciate your talent so much. I love this design.
I loved the pattern from the first time I saw it and really enjoyed knitting it. So much so that I am doing a second one navy. And I never knit any pattern more than once.
This was such a fun pattern to knit Holli, and as always, I thoroughly enjoyed knitting one of your well written patterns.

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.
