it looks like steve the may
has a bit of swatching fever (always a good thing for a designer).
i feel pretty honored that his goal is to make
a pair of my trume socks.
can’t wait to see what color he lands on
and if he loves them as much as i love the pink ones
that i wore this past saturday
to the book signing at the hub mills store.
nothing, in my opinion, makes high heeled mary janes
feel better than cushy
boot socks.
today is boot sock day.
appropriate since it’s 15* outside.
these were designed to go from comfy boots to stage shoes
and back again without a hitch.
they’re as pretty as they are practical.
the angora and nylon in the mix make them super snuggly,
while the rich colors and tweediness keep things interesting.
the rocker style (lighter in these photos) is straight ahead ribbing.
the boho version is wide eyelet lace
to sweeten things up a bit.
either way, they’re cushy and warm.
check out the slate falls press blog today for a chance to win the pattern,
and a discount on it if you don’t want to wait.
joanna also asks me
music related things like ‘if you could be an instrument, what would you be?’.
betcha can’t my guess my answer before you look…
i just finished working with
a beautiful tweedy yarn and i thought,
“i love the vibe of this. why didn’t i think to include some things that were
softer and tweedier in the upcoming collection?”
so, as is my prerogative as both a woman and an artist,
i proceeded to change my mind…
and staying true to their easy to work with nature,
classic elite yarns quickly sent the new colors
right to my back door.
majestic tweed and inca alpaca are going to make for
fun new swatching tonight.
thanks, cey.
