Sweet (and free) embroidery patterns

Picture it: you're sitting on your porch stitching away, saying hey to the neighbors who wander by. No, wait. It's hot outside. You're in an air-conditioned coffee shop stitching away, chatting with a friend. And everyone who sees you is charmed by your old-fashioned handiwork.

The Purl Bee - Knitting Crochet Sewing Embroidery Crafts Patterns and Ideas! Pom Pom Peds. Remember Tretorn tennis sneakers?

Pom Pom Peds

The canvas ones with the bright colored little arch on the side? And remember how you had to wear them with the little peds with pom poms on the cuff? In the mid-70’s Chris Evert rocked the classic combo. The pom pom was probably meant to keep the sock from slipping down into the the sneaker. Such a whimsical solution to such a practical problem! A decade later The Official Preppy Handbook ordained Tretorns with Pom Pom Peds a “must-have”. Now, two decades later, I’m loving making these socks! Materials 2 skeins of Hand Jive’s Nature’s Palette 100% merino wool. UPDATE August 18, 2011: Since Nature’s Palette is no longer available, we have redone our pom pom peds in Anzula’s Squishy(click here).

Gauge 8 stitches = 1 inch in stockinette stitch (See our Circular Gauge Tutorial for tips on knitting an accurate gauge for in-the-round projects.) Finished Size Fit most women: 7 1/2 inches in circumference and adjustable length Note Pattern The Cuff The Heel Flap Magic! Colorblock Hand Warmers. The sweet spot of knitting, for me, is when it starts to feel a lot like painting.

Colorblock Hand Warmers

When the form is fluid and mutable and when the palette is supple and free, then I feel that knitting really hits its creative stride. Creating these Colorblock Hand Warmers delivers just that kind of deeply satisfying experience. The idea behind these simple mitts was to give free rein to the gorgeous colors of Madeline Tosh Merino Light, to allow the spectacularly hand dyed palette to speak its own story and to create its own beauty: from moonlight gray to buttery yellow to bronzed apricot to blazing tangerine.
