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!

I would love to win the Dale sock kit and would use the same colors that Molly did. The socks and the yarn are gorgeous.
Thank you for the opportunity.

SO hard to choose, but I think I’d pick Sterling for the main color and In the Navy for the contrasting color. There are so many great combinations for choose from!

Oh what a lovely sock pattern! Absolutely adorable!! I would knit them in the colorway Soul Train as the main colour with bright highlights in the colorway Barley.

I would copy Molly and use Barley for the main color and since I love hot pink, I would use Boom Shankar for the contrast colorwork!

Apologies – at my first attempt this appeared on the wrong post.
I’ll say In the Navy and Karma, but it’s hard to choose!
