“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.”
-Malcolm X

Shoreline Socks are a lovely play on texture inspired by the lakes and shorelines that are a thing of beauty throughout Michigan. The intriguing structural lines of the right and left foot are worked as a mirrored image that perfectly transitions into the heel and toe shaping in this exquisite pair of socks. The gently meandering lines of the cable were designed with rolling waves in mind, and it is our hope that knitting them will bring back memories of a perfect summer day at the shore.

Overflowing with twelve beautiful designs featuring local indie yarn dyers and stunning views of the Michigan landscape, this issue is our largest yet! The knitting patterns include a hat, socks, shawls, and sweaters, and range from fingering weight to worsted and from beginner to advanced. Fall in love with Michigan from the comfort of your home; explore the region with us as you turn the pages, meet the local indie dyers, and pick a new project to cast on.
