This pattern (along with most of my earlier work) was retired in the summer of 2022. However, it may be available for a few days once or twice a year. Read on for details!

In the summer of 2022, I realized that maintaining a back catalog of hundreds of patterns was kind of overwhelming. I couldn’t do it and still release new things. So I took my old patterns down so I could keep doing new work.

Since then, a handful of my favorites have come back, and lovely new things have come out. But the vast majority of the old patterns are retired and will no longer be generally available.

However, enough folks have asked about some old favorites that I’m planning to make many of the retired patterns available for a few days once or twice a year (most likely in late spring and then again in the fall around Thanksgiving).

• If you want to hear when the retired patterns will be available, subscribe to the mailing list or patreon, or keep an eye on my instagram.

If a woman were going to walk for pleasure or health, she would show her knowledge of what was sensible and suitable by putting on thick stockings, ribbed silk or silk and wool, and thick-soled shoes with low heels.

I don’t mind being sensible and suitable—at least not most of the time. But I’m not convinced that those virtues should be reserved just for women. To that end, I offer a sock that is eminently suitable for (and sized for) both ladies and gentlemen.
