The same, but not the same. My socks will be cousins, or sisters, or best buddies. After finishing the first, I didn’t feel like knitting the second in exactly the same way.

It’s possible to read and knit. The sentence I never thought I’d write. I’ve changed my mind and now think it’s just as possible to do Knitflix as Tricolivre. If you’d like to try your hand at knitting, here are a few ideas to make things easier for you.

One of the things I love most about my work as a designer is seeing YOU reinterpret my patterns. Here are a few examples to inspire you the next time you’re looking for a sock pattern.
ps: in addition to my bi-monthly letter in which I give a glimpse of behind-the-scene of tisserin coquet and share with you all of my latests favourites in the crafting world, you’ll also get 20% off all my new patterns.
