Grab a Deal on Knitting Designs through 11/29

This time of year is a great time to grab a deal on great knitting patterns. The Indie Design Gift-a-long is a time when you can find lots of independent designers offering sale prices on some of their patterns on Ravelry.

Check on the Indie Design Gift-a-long group on Ravelry for all the details. But basically a bunch of designers have chosen up to 20 of their patterns to discount 25 percent through the end of the day on Nov. 29.

Once you grab your patterns you can join a group related to the pattern you’re working on (cowls, sweaters, socks, etc.) and have a knit or crochet along to get some of your gift crafting done. There will be prizes for participants and lots of fun and holiday cheer throughout.

Click this link to see the nearly 350 participating designers, and use the code giftalong2018 for your discount.

If you buy any patterns I’d love to hear about the projects you snag!

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
