Thank you all for the wonderful and warm response

Thank you all for the wonderful and warm response to my first pattern release #BobaTimeSocks! I am so moved and feeling well supported by you all. Tomorrow is the last day for the introductory discount so if you’d like the pattern you can use code BOBADAY for 15% off both PayHip and Etsy. ❤️❤️❤️

Sample knit by @laiphoebe89 in size B (8 in circumference) using @knit_picks Stroll. One ball each color.

Back to moving for me! 🙈

Please do save/❤️/share this post and let all the boba-loving knitters in your life know about it! I would appreciate any support you can give me even if the pattern is not for you! 🥰⁠ There is an introductory discount of 15% off on both platforms using the code BOBADAY, applicable through May 17th. ⁠
⁠
Have you decided what flavor to knit? The Boba Time! Socks are inspired by the cold drink of our summers in the San Gabriel Valley in California. This drink of our youth settles in layers of beautiful peach and orange hues, and Jen at @626yarns has dyed the perfect gradient set, Thai Iced Tea with a bonus Boba mini. Together we have created this sweet, sticky, super-caffeinated pattern to enjoy. ⁠
⁠
Knit a gradient version to achieve the perfect Thai Iced Tea gradient, or knit a solid with a contrasting mini for plain milk tea with boba. Change the colors to achieve other drinks, such as matcha latte, strawberry milk tea, or taro milk tea. The world’s your colorwork oyster. The pattern utilizes interesting techniques throughout in short sections so that it remains engaging. No second sock syndrome here!⁠

Throw back photo to some fall/winter spinning... I

Throw back photo to some fall/winter spinning... It's been a few weeks since I've gotten to spin... and now that we are on the road I'm really hankering for a hand dyed top, like this BFL one from @nestfiber. Looking forward to being settled in the new house and getting to spin things like this again. ⁠

My not that secret goal is to save up my pattern earnings. If I can sell about 250 patterns total this spring/summer I can buy my dream wheel in the fall! Help me fulfill my dreams by buying my patterns to sharing my releases with your knitting friends and I promise I’ll document spinning and knitting an adult sweater quantity with the wheel in 2022. 🤣 Have you tried spinning for a whole sweater yet! It’s definitely in my fiber arts bucket list!

🧋🧋 coming your way Friday! Because of my bac

🧋🧋 coming your way Friday! Because of my background as a piano teacher of 9 years, I am strongly passionate about making sure your creative process not only results in a beautiful finished object, but also for that process to be as easy and smooth as possible. My patterns are expertly tech edited by the great Natasha at @northernknitsandpurl, and I strive to make each detail both thoughtfully designed and clearly explained so that you have a stress free knitting experience. ⁠
⁠
Socks are the perfect knitting medium for learning new techniques such as these bobbles that make up the “boba” in the Boba Time! Socks. The solid version, shown here in KnitPicks Stroll, is a particularly good way to dip your toes in before adding the fade gradient technique in for your second pair. That makes this a great and repeatable pattern to learn two different techniques with if they are new to you! Plus, that means more chances to create all kinds of boba tea flavors. 🥰⁠
⁠
The #BobaTimeSocks feature all those thoughtful details like flatter bobbles to fit comfortably in shoes, the pretty textural changes throughout, and the easy as pie heel flap selvedge that I promise is so easy to pick up! There’s nothing I love more than a pattern with thoughtfully and concisely written tips and wonderful little design details. I hope I can deliver that experience and joy to you with this one! ⁠

Which version do you think you'd knit first??⁠ do you have any questions about the techniques or difficulty level for me? I’d love to help! ⁠
