The Whimsical Sock Collective
What is it?
The Whimsical Sock collective is a “secret/mystery knit along/ sock club” featuring “secret” sock patterns.
Each sock design featured in the collection is knit out a non-superwash, nylon-free(breed specific) yarn from different yarn companies.
Last year’s pattern were fairly simple, yet had some little interesting details to create some sock drawer staples.
This year I wanted to play with texture a little bit more, which means that the yarns that will be featured in the patterns might be quite “unusual’ compare to your regular sock yarn. The stitches are also more intricate compare to last year’s patterns as I wanted to add something quite “whimsical” to the collection.
How does it work?
The knit along will take place over on Instagram where you will be able to share your wips and engage with fellow knitters #thewhimsicalsockcollective (all the details are explained in the Welcome pdf that you will receive)
Sock n.2
This one might be my favourite from the collection so far.
It’s actually the pattern that started it all. I knit them back in March I think, and I’vebeen so obsessed with them. I can’t wait for you to knit them and see how whimsical they are (eeeeek).
They are knit out of 2 balls of Retrosaria Vovó which is a wonderful 100% Portuguese yarn. If you’ve knit with Mondim, it’s quite similar in terms of texture. It has a wonderful stitch definition which is perfect for this sock pattern (you’ll need a sock with a high twist/ tightly plied to showcase the stitch pattern the best).
