However you’ll be sad to hear this may be the very last batch of PWS as she’s retiring from her hand dying days 🥺 that being said, shop the @playing.with.string restock now ~ quantities are extremely limited & when they’re gone they’re gone! Skeins Pictured in Reel— Cashmere Sport String in Faded Prism Cashmere Bulky String in Blueberry Surprise Cashmere Bulky String in Georgian Bay Vibes Cashmere Bulky in Rainbow Sherbet Sock String in Fashion Show!

I learned how to knit ergonomic socks with this pattern! The socks fit so well! Pattern: Go With The Flowers Socks by @chaosintheworks 🌟 The pattern is now available on Ravelry! Yarn: Main colour - The Loving Path High Twist Sock in the Courage colourway; Contrast colour - Playing With String Cashmere Sock String in the Parasol colourway 🧶 The pattern offers several modifications for the fit, cuff, and heel. Left-handed knitting instructions are included also! Be sure to check out the other testers’ versions for inspiration! 🥰 Thank you for the opportunity to #testknit these stunning socks, Milena!
