Looking for inspiration for what to do with the gorgeous mini skein sets you’ve just gotten?
They would of course make a beautiful pair of striped socks, but Catrien is making hers into the Twist Cardigan by by combining the minis with some full skeins of Machinist 😍😍
This cardigan has such a clever construction and is a really fun way to use some beautiful mini skeins ✨

Anjou Sock Kits have launched for Socktober! 🧦🧶🍐

We think that Skeinny Dippin // Alex ‘s Anjou Sock pattern and Countrywide Yarns Purrino Possum Sock is a match made in heaven. We’ve put together six different colourways for you to make your own mismatched pair. The super satisfying slip stitch pattern flys off the needles, and with instructions for both toe up and top down construction the pattern has options for everyone.

Grab a kit and join the Socktober Knit Along - cast on is October 1st!
