Hi, Knitters,
On my travels to Stitches West I knitted a new pair of socks. I brought along seven different colors of mini skeins in Home Fingering Weight yarn. I am calling this pair Going West Socks. If you haven't knit 100% wool socks I highly suggest you give these a try. The finished socks are so squishy, cozy and warm. They honestly feel so much better than superwash/nylon yarn. I don't want to take them off.
The socks use my Smooth Operator Socks pattern and I've written out the instructions for the stripes and a couple of other tips along the way. The stripes and colors make the socks incredibly addicting, you simply can't put them down.
By the way, the clogs in the photo are from Dansko if interested.
Here's what you'll find in the Going West Socks Minis Kit:
The Kit Includes:
- Enough yarn to make one pair of Going West Socks (about 150 grams) in the following colors of our Home Fingering Weight: Huron, Tattersall, Bluff, Strawflower, Ellie Grey, Big Woods and Folkstone.
- An optional Ravelry download code for the Smooth Operator Socks pattern. This will be included on a paper card inside the kit.
- A printed page with specific Going West Socks instructions to be used along with the Smooth Operator Socks pattern.
- The kit will come packaged in a hand-stamped project bag.

And we have Sheep Scissors restocked in the Barrett Wool Co. Mercantile!
Here we are before the big Stitches West event in Santa Clara, California began! We are poised and ready for the onslaught of attendees. I had so much fun the entire time and I met so many lovely knitters. It was really a positive experience in all. Our booth was packed full for the majority of the time and we were so busy. Miss Molly on the left and Evan is on the right.
We shared our booth with Alana Dakos of Never Not Knitting. That's her on the left. It worked out so smoothly. Thanks to Alana for a fantastic weekend!
I hope you are well, everyone. I'll be back soon with more.
