Hi everyone! I’m a CVS employee with a somewhat useless bachelor’s degree in piano performance. I love socks, intricate lace, stranded colorwork, and granny squares.

Update: I am not actively using Ravelry at this point in time. My patterns were written when I was a new knitter and I have not saved them or fixed any of them. If you’re wondering about the fairgyle socks, it is basically a basic toe up pattern with a fair isle chart repeated that looks like argyle in two colors. Hope that helps. And the Saxon braid chart for the hat is wrong, but simply knit a Saxon braid cable the length of the circumference of your hat, pick up stitches on the side and then decrease as for a hat. Hope that helps.
