Wildflower Meadow Socks

It’s always hard to hold back on sharing photos of the Gauge club patterns, but we don’t want to spoil the surprise until everyone who signed up has gotten their yarn. Now is that time for the June club! These are Wildflower Meadow, a sock pattern with a gorgeous gradient and sweet, simple colourwork pattern.

These won’t be available to the general public until next fall, but we’ll announce signups for the August club very soon, so be sure you’re subscribed to my newsletter so you don’t miss it. We’ll also be offering yarn fund grants again to cover the cost of club memberships for limited or low income makers. You can contribute to that fund here and we’ll be accepting applications soon.
You can see the pattern on Ravelry here and join in the knit along in the Gauge Dye Works group too if you’re a club member! (If you’re not a club member, feel free to take a peek too so you can see what it’s like!)

A flowing gradient splashed with short row “leaves” turns this semi-circular pi shawl into a stunning statement piece — and the perfect wrap for your outdoor adventures. And the best part? It’s worked in a unique self-striping yarn that shifts and blends, with golden sections appearing as you knit to tell you when to work each Leaf. It’s addictively mesmerising! I worked closely with Catherine of Gauge Dye Works to design this special shawl. It was an unusual collaboration, in that the yarn colourway and the pattern were developed in tandem to create a knitting experience that’s fun, engaging, and reflects the beauty of the great outdoors. Instructions are included for substituting a non-striping yarn.
The yarn designed especially for this pattern is available from Gauge Dye Works.
Hardy enough for adventuring yet pretty enough for lounging, Saxe Point will be a lovely addition to your sock collection. The socks are worked toe-up with an afterthought heel and shaped leg, with a colourwork cuff to top it all off. I designed this pattern in collaboration with Catherine of Gauge Dye Works. She took colour inspiration from one of my photos of Vancouver Island’s rocky seashore, and together we created a yarn designed to create a wonderful knitting experience — along with the perfect pattern to show it off. The self-striping yarn makes colours appear on your needles as if by magic. I have included instructions for creating the same effect by substituting yarn.
The pattern now includes the bonus “Twinkle” chart for some holiday cheer!
The yarn designed especially for this pattern is from Gauge Dye Works.
Full Spectrum is a clever reversible hat with fetching stripes on one side and pleasing geometric colourwork on the other. It’s worked from the crown of one side, through the brim, and to the crown of the other, so that the whole doubled hat is worked in one piece. It was designed in collaboration with Gauge Dye Works - their self-striping yarn makes this an addicting and enjoyable knit!
The yarn designed for this pattern is available in three colourways from Gauge Dye Works.
There’s also a cheery Twinkle colourway! You can get the colour-blocked version for the toque (it would also be great for the Botanical Sampler cowl) or the multi-striped version for the Saxe Point socks.
