    i have to share that my first impression of the first viewing of the red over white dots was "Santa Claus!" and then because I live in Minnesota, the land of 10,000 + lakes, "bobbers!" We are in the peak of fishing season here! One town, Pequot Lakes, has even painted their water tower to resemble a bobber. It would be perfect to knit these socks in bobber colors for a fishing friend! You are a rock star, my inspiration, my hero! I did purchase your new book and love it!

    I’m working on toe up socks rt now I have no problem with cuff down but was trying to not pick up stitches at the heel. I am not have too much trouble but a lil on short row heel. I have figured it out tho. Blessings to you on the knitting space. My room is in a transitional state. My room has been on hold for a very very long time, I am done with waiting. I got all my cabinets and such from Micheal’s and IKEA. So next few weeks I’m working on putting all that together. I dream of a finished room hopefully when summer starts. I do not have a DIYer hubs nor have a friend that does that type of thing either. So it’s me myself and I. I think it’s a blessing to all those have design space for your one or many crafts. I’m working towards doing some sort of business. Not sure what yet. Ty for your video:)

    Socks are the best summer pattern. Nice and light, so you don't have a big project on your lap making you hot, and by the time cold weather hits you have a bunch of socks to keep your toes warm! They are super adorable and I'll buy the pattern this weekend!

    Very fun! The first row of the two-color dots looks like a Santa face without eyes. In fact, all the dots look like little heads wearing caps. Here's an idea: embroider eyes on a few random heads, some with expressions. The way you create emojiis using punctuation.
