I’ve been splitting my knitting time between two fun projects.

First up is Bright Axis by @tellybeanknits.bsky.social, knit in my self-striping Feline colorway. 🐾

The second sneak peek is a brand-new colorway! For now I’m only showing it in black + white (gotta keep some mystery)

New colors coming soon! It's hard to keep up with samples so they'll be ready in a few weeks but I love seeing how all the colorways knit up. A few of these colors will be made into items that are NOT socks 🧦 Can you guess what they could be?!
