Create A New Tradition

Right after the MollyGirl Trunk show, we looked for more fun patterns for Glamour Lite, a pretty fingering yarn with just a glint of shine if you really look for it. We ran across a pattern for Vintage Fairy Lights Socks by Helen Stewart. We are just so enchanted with the story and tradition behind these sweet socks. According to her pattern notes, Vintage Fairy Lights socks were created from a collaboration with Dani from the wonderful Little Bobbins podcast, and Jane from Hedgerow Yarns. Every year Dani hosts a Christmas Eve Cast On, a sweet and simple tradition to cast on a pair of socks every Christmas Eve. These socks are intended to evoke a feeling of comfort and joy. There’s an easy textured pattern on the top which brings to mind those old-fashioned Christmas lights, with a straightforward rib on the leg: something easy to relax you as you sit knitting and waiting for Santa. Perhaps you'll start a new holiday tradition too! We believe a skein of  MollyGirl Glamour Lite (75% superwash merino/25% nylon) would be perfect  - with just a dash of fairy glint, these socks would be truly magical!
