With the start of the new year, we can take time to relax and focus on ourselves. As the holidays draw to a close, our attention turns from deadlines and obligations to resolving our resolutions and rejuvenating our bodies and minds. Knit Purl is designating January “the Month of Me” to remind us to take time to relax and enjoy the calmer moments.
The chance to treat ourselves finally presents itself, and we start looking for a new project to cast on. Something that warms our hearts and our extremities, and encourages cozy afternoons with a good book and a cup of tea.

For the softest of slippers, we’ve chosen to pair luxurious cashmere with Julie Weisenberger’s Pleated Ballet Flats. This pattern works up quickly and is perfect for Nob Hill! These plush flats are light and fluffy, and will keep your feet toasty while you’re curled up under a warm blanket.

Inglenook is a uniquely cozy pattern. Designed by Adrian Bizilia for Brooklyn Tweed, these worsted-weight house socks feature intricate cable and slip-stitch details on a backdrop of reverse stockinette. We suggest knitting your Inglenook socks in one of our newest yarns, Bannock, a naturally dyed, American-made beauty from Sincere Sheep. Scrunch them up in your boots when running out to get the paper or check the mail.

Felting is an adventurous technique for creating slippers with strength and durability. The revisited version of Duffers, a felted slipper pattern by Mindie Tallack, features expanded construction and size options. Knit them up in another all-American favorite, Shepherd's Wool. Try blocked stripes of color to enhance the turned-up toe and snug heel.

Parade, by Judy Kaethler, is a traditional sock with minimal fuss. A clever twisted stitch achieves the look of cables without the needle, and two heel options complement your level of wear. These socks beg to be knit more than once, in both Shibui Sock's solid and variegated colorways. We are offering Sock at a 10% discount for the next week, so be sure to pick up a few skeins before they’re out of stock. This line is being discontinued!
Snuggled up in an armchair or cozied up in a cubicle, take time to take care of yourself in these sumptuous socks and slippers. For more sock ideas, check out our blog!
