To Chance Socks
The To Chance socks are a fun top-down sock pattern, which is the sequel to By Chance socks. Use a dice to determine which stitch pattern to work next. It is a fun and unique experience that creates a different sock pattern each time. To Chance is a bonanza of a pattern with 6 stitch patterns, 2 cuffs and 2 heels. You can mix and match, work an allover pattern in one stitch pattern, or intentionally choose your pattern order.

Fraser Pines is a pair of socks that only ever uses one colour at once using a slipped stitch technique, which makes it an easy knit. The leg of the sock are ringed by pine trees moving into a hybrid heel and a relaxing knit on the foot with a few stripes thrown in for fun.
Gentle Blooms is a bandana-style cowlette, which means you get the beauty and fun of a shawl at a small scale but it’s easy to wear and will stay in position.
