Sock Pattern Testing

There are times that I can't believe the wonderful people that I have met on line while selling on Etsy or  while sharing on Ravelry my socks and mitts. This is a photo sent to me by Patrick and Alex who are testing my Link Cable and Rib Sock Pattern. The care that they have taken to contact me on the progress has been really wonderful and the results of the test knit has been rewarding. I loved the photo and had to share it. Well knitted and I am sure that the reward of wearing them will be warm and fuzzy. Thank you again to Patrick and Alex.....amazing.

Scrunch Socks Lengthened

I love it when I get photos from knitters that knit my patterns! This is the Scrunch Sock with a different toe and an addition of a half diamond pattern to lengthen the sock for her foot. It is beautifully knitted and love the lengthening idea. Great sock knitter...Barb you are the best.

Etsy On Sale

So I have created a sale on all my mitts. 15% off and goes for 1 week. Will be interesting to see how this works and if I get any traffic into my shop.

So hopefully my stats will have more traffic and a couple of sales. Interesting experiment.

Etsy On Sale with Fingerless Mitts

Sale on Fingerless Mitts!

So trying something new...Etsy On Sale. A new program for automatic sales. This is a test and I took 15% off my Fingerless Mitts for one week starting tomorrow. I think it might be a good way to get customers to my shop. https://www.etsy.com/shop/byhandbyjean?section_id=5925214 

Finally Posted in Ravelry Cable Link Rib Sock

And just posted the sock pattern that I have been working on and hope that it is received well. Very simple pattern and I would rate it easy but not beginner sock. Yarn was the Knit Pick Gloss (Merino and Silk) but had done this sock using Lorna Laces Shepard Sock Yarn. Any Fingering weight should be fine for this pattern. I have not posted on Etsy as yet but will after a week or so. want to see the reaction to the pattern or if it gets any reaction. But it is done and I do like the results.

Sample pattern posting.

Finally Link Cable Sock

Link Cable and Rib Sock

So finally the pattern is done...took a while with Scrunch Socks thrown in between a custom order but I think it is finally done. A big thank you to Patrick Williams-Pittard https://www.etsy.com/shop/QuiltingGuys who's friend Alex is testing the pattern for me before I post it. This is a Side Link Cable and Rib Sock for men. I love the feel of this particular yarn I used... Knit Picks Gloss Fingering Weight, Merino/Silk. Really a great feel, soft and smooth. This has to be hand washed and layed flat to dry... Hoping to get the pattern up soon.

Writing Pattern for Side Cable Link sock

I have been working on a sock pattern that has taken a while but close to finishing it. Need to knit another pair to make sure...but got an order for a Scrunch Sock from a  man in Australia. Yikes! Need to knit up a pair and then will finish the pattern. Patterns are tough to do as with me I am always making little changes and can't just use things on previous patterns. This one will be really good I think and hopefully easy for anyone to knit. Stay tuned!
