New Pattern Alert!
I’m so excited to share my latest design with you — the Nyezi Socks are officially live!
They’re a cozy, textured DK weight pair knit from the cuff down, with the option to keep the cuff short or fold it over for extra snug vibes.
I knit the sample in African Expressions Joy – 1027, and the texture shows up beautifully.
If you love quick knits or need a last-minute gift, these work up in no time.
You can find the pattern on Ravelry and Etsy — thank you so much for always cheering me on and supporting my work.
Let me know if you’re planning to cast on!

We’re celebrating 9 years of knitwear designing and it’s been a great pleasure to share the journey with you.
I’m currently sharing videos answering your knitting and knitwear designing questions. So far, I’ve answered your question on whether I keep a stash or not and what I think about knitting with yarn held with mohair. More Q&A videos coming in the next few days!!!
