End of summer sale at Socksandmittens

We are back from our wonderful trip to Canada and getting ready for the Fall and Winter season.

We are slowly adding some new items and also reducing prices on selected items. If you are planning ahead for the coming Holidays and looking for some hand knit gifts it might be a way to get them for less!

 So there is an end-of-summer sale going on right now in our Socksandmittens shop. Please visit our SALE section to see the selection.

Christmas in July

One of our great customers, Debbie, contacted us recently with an order of man's cable knit socks she would like to give as a gift for Christmas. I love custom orders because this way we know exactly what a customer wants!

We worked on a design for a couple of days and came up with a new one.

We were trying to make our new man's socks look manly but comfortable and nice looking all at the same time. I am lucky to have two male critics in my home, my husband and my son. Everything we create for men to wear are passing their fussy inspection :)

Anyway, the socks came out great and Debbie also liked them. She was also very generous with sharing her Christmas butter ball cookie recipe with me. She is makes them every Christmas. I am very enthusiastic about cooking so of course, I baked them as soon as possible. Mmmm... best cookies ever!


They did not last very long, I baked late in the evening and they were gone the next morning! That's what cookies are for, right? :) Definitely a keeper recipe!


Thank you so much, Debbie, for your order, for the recipe and for making me feel like it's Christmas!

Summer earrings giveaway

There is a lovely giveaway at Russian Etsy Team Blog going on right now, these lovely grapes earrings. Aren't they perfect for the summer?


So come take a look, leave a comment and maybe, you will be the winner!

Knitted teapot cozy Strawberries and cream

I liked my new teapot cozy so much that I made another one.


These cozies reminding me of lots and lots of whip cream on strawberry shortcakes and cute little cupcakes. Perfect for the tea party!


I used an acrylic yarn in my project because it is easier to take care of and I relly love the colors.

So go visit my shop, it is there!

Good gifts for your Mom

Have you thought of gift for your Mother yet? Mother’s day is almost here!

We are grateful to our moms for love, care and the sweetness which they give us during our whole lives. So there is no doubt they deserve the most elegant and thoughtful gifts and actually not just for a holiday but every day!

While I was looking for a gift for my mother on Etsy I came across with this lovely little shop BelleCoccinelle. There is so many little treasures here!

Each item in the shop is carefully embroidered by Lana, the shop owner or done on her Singer, her old time sewing machine.

I love her framed embroideries and I thought it might be especially nice as a Mother's Day gift.

You can hang them on a wall or right next to your needlework box. It looks great anywhere and it will remind her of you!

Please take a look at her work, I am sure you will find something here for your Mom, too!

Hand knit slouchy hats

Slouchy hat is a great way to look stylish in a breezy spring day. They look and feel great on you.


They are so light so you can forget you are wearing one!

Our hats are hand knit from very soft quality acrylic yarn but can also be made in wool, wool blend or cotton.



We made these in quiet natural colors but we'll be glad to make them on a brighter side also. Just contact us and let us know what you think!


We were working hard at Socksandmittens this winter. We are thankful to all of our customers who kept us busy and hope they enjoyed their purchases!
