I am so excited to have been nominated in the Trailblazer Category - Celebrating a business owner whose leadership, ingenuity, and boldness have sparked success and inspired others.

Hello everyone. Just letting you know that I have just uploaded my NEW Flexiflip Sock pattern that now includes sock sizes from child through to adult large. FlexiFlip Socks are a versatile, top-down sock pattern designed specifically for Addi FlexiFlip needles. Featuring a classic ribbed leg, traditional heel flap and gusset, and a clean toe finish, this pattern is perfect for knitters who want a comfortable, well-fitting sock with minimal needle juggling. FlexiFlip Socks use standard sock construction and are ideal for knitters ready to explore flexible needle techniques while still enjoying a familiar sock shape.

Pattern works to a multiple of 2 +1 for your starting chain. Also known as the granite or linen stitch.

Back in December I had the pleasure of being invited to be a guest on the Chez Les Fleur Podcast hosted by Janet McLeod of East City Flower Shop in Peterborough, ON. I was just updating my website and thought that I would share the link to the podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVD2z8gJ_ik

The Waterfall stitch pattern is a multiple of 6 + 3. Six rows repeated for the pattern. Enjoy!
