Are your bind-off stitches always turning out just a little too tight? 🙋‍♀️

In our latest podcast episode, Olivia and I were troubleshooting this exact problem because her edge needed a lot more give. My absolute go-to solution for this is the Suspended Bind-Off!

It is an incredibly simple technique that naturally creates a beautifully neat, stretchy edge! Watch the clip to see exactly how I do it, and give it a try on your next project!

One of my absolute favorite things as a designer is seeing how you all bring my patterns to life, and today I just had to share some serious eye candy from Ravelry! 😍 Swipe through to see these stunning, finished versions of my Forbidden Fruit Sock knit up by our amazing community.

I designed this top-down sock to be a true summer favorite. It kicks off with a playful frill along the top edge that looks so cute peeking out of heels or tennis shoes, and features a sleek pointelle openwork pattern that keeps things light, airy, and smooth inside your shoes.

Lucky for all of you, we just released a limited-edition Forbidden Fruit Sock Kit! 🎁 Each kit comes with a gorgeous skein of our Modern Deco Lace (available in three beautiful colorways), Forbidden Fruit Sock PDF pattern and a special birthstone stitch marker to add a little sparkle to your needles.
