I design colourful knitting patterns with innovative details, often inspired by science and nature but occasionally best described as, “But why would you do that?!”

Trekkie, LOTR fan, nerd in general.

Those are Stripe Central Socks (www.periwinkledragon.ca/patterns/str...) and the yarn is from Stitch Noir (www.stitchnoir.com). Absolutely zero bleed in the wash, even the dark one. They still look great, even after a year of wear by my spouse. Highly recommend that dyer!
Stripe Central Socks
This easy and fun striped sock knitting pattern offers maximum sizing flexibility and plenty of helpful resources!

Oblique Reflex Socks

🧶 www.periwinkledragon.ca/patterns/obl...

It’s actually a very easy pattern to knit! All you need is self-striping yarn and some increases and decreases in the right places. 😊
Oblique Reflex Socks
These socks with an afterthought heel use bias sections to make a self-striping yarn shift at various angles. Both toe-up and cuff-down instructions are available.

Yoga instructors just do not understand the concept of a beginner. Case in point: I took a “beginner” yoga class today and we spent — no joke — 2/3 of it on the finer details of the two warrior poses. 30 minutes of, essentially, never-ending lunges. It was horrendous. Unbalanced and boring. Why.

🧶 The eBook is available on Payhip and Ravelry, and individual patterns are available on my website and on Ravelry. All five designs have both toe-up and cuff-down instructions, and flexible sizing (including optional mini-gussets) for a great fit!

One of my great-uncles spent 2 years in a POW camp after Dieppe. He spent the rest of his life talking to young people about his experiences to drive home how horrible wars are and how seriously we need to take protecting democracy.

Canadians now see the US as a threat, not as a friend, no matter how many Americans try to apologize or rush to say, “But *I* didn’t vote for him!”

It doesn’t matter. The damage is done.

We won’t forget. 🇨🇦
