Celebrate Socks

This project is the 2024 holiday collaboration between Andrea and Catherine of Gauge Dye Works. Pattern and yarn will be re-launched and available to everyone on July 16, 2025. To be notified when that happens, [sign up for my newsletter][1]. When days are short and the light is precious, we all crave some celebration! Celebrate Socks are designed to be a little pop of simple joy in between all the hectic activity of the holidays. The colourwork is simple to get into and self-striping yarn will give a sweet boost with every change. There are 24 different colours in the specially designed yarn, so you can knit a stripe a day for some advent-style fun! Like my designs?
