This week we are highlighting yet another new design, this time from the lovely Molly of A Homespun House who designed these super cute socks called Dale. Knit using a traditional Fair Isle design (that was inspired by a similar design used by Molly's grandmother and great grandmother) the Dale socks are knit cuff-down and use Skein Top Draw Sock, in the colourways Barley and Quill.
And if the Dale socks weren't cute enough, Molly has also designed a pair of socks for babies and toddlers called Suesie Dale♥. These are also inspired from a pattern knit by Molly's grandmother and great grandmother and feature a very handy i-cord tie to stop the socks slipping off little feet. Knit from Skein Top Draw Sock, Molly used Geisha and Quill with the contrast colour being Barley. So sweet!
You can check out more of Molly's designs over on Ravelry, she has a wonderful website called A Homespun House that sells project bags, patterns and more, plus she also has a wonderful video podcast that I highly recommend!
Giveaway!

These socks are super cute. I’d make mine with Sterling as the main color and Damask as the accent/heart color. I love mixing brights with neutrals!
