I'm so pleased to be giving away a pattern from Closely Knit, by Hannah Fettig, this week.

These beautifully luxurious Vintage Knee Socks are featured in the daughters chapter of the book. What a lovely gift to knit for your daughter or for a daughter-figure in your life. (Or you can knit them for yourself--after all, no one will appreciate their decadence as much as you.)

Happy knitting! If you like this pattern, you should pick up a copy of Closely Knit and check out the other offerings. It just came out in March, so you can be one of the first to own a copy. It's full of really beautiful, classic patterns. Each chapter is devoted to the special people who warrant the effort and love it takes to make a hand-knitted gift. In addition to a chapter devoted to the perfect gifts for daughters, there are also chapters for mothers, sisters, men in our lives, wee ones and friends. I find the men chapter especially helpful. I always want to knit for my friends and family, but sometimes I'm stumped on what to knit for them, especially those pesky guys. This book takes out all the guesswork. Want to knit something fantastic for your mom? No problem! Just flip through the mothers chapter. There are all kinds of projects--from big and involved to simple and quick. I've already knitted two of the heart pins! They're so fun and easy. And cheery to wear. Check out the Valentine's Day post for the free pattern and pictures of the pin.

Make sure to check out what else Hannah is up to at her blog. She's always got something going on! And stay tuned, I'm planning to post an interview with her soon.

Please post pictures of your socks!
