Welcome back to our 'Design Diary' series!
In Autumn 2020, Kay sat down to design something just for Dan. She wanted to capture all he loved about sock knitting in one special design. In this episode of 'Design Diary' Kay takes a closer look at how she came to design the 'Sherwood Socks'. She then talks through with Dan how the socks came to become the latest pattern in the 2021 Platinum Collection.
Join Kay as she:
- Discusses the roots of the Sherwood Socks design

- Talks through the importance in her mind of actually knitting the designs she creates
- Discusses how the Robin Hood theme links to the design elements of the socks
