Violently Domestic

(I’m karenwj). I can’t resist a giveaway – particularly when it’s been as much fun as it has to make these socks.

I checked the Handwerks site. The colour I love is Blues.

Good luck with your pattern.

Beautiful pattern – thank you for sharing!

I love the Socks Plus 8 in Smoke.

Thank you for the freebie pattern! I make a lot of socks for gifts and your patterns are always a hit! The Sock Plus 8 yarns are gorgeous! I think my favorite would have to be the Paprika… as I also love to cook! =)

Those are gorgeous! I think the color you used, London Fog, looks the best. But I might be biased because of the pictures. Thank you for sharing this wonderful pattern!

Nandina is a absolutely fantastic color for a pair of autumn socks, flaming just like the forests

Another lovely pattern I love the lacy openness of this one… now to go off and search for the perfect yarn to do it justice

Woops! The color, I forgot!

Turquoise Inlay – beautiful depth of turquoise… love it

I loved testing this pattern. Thanks again, Hunter.

My favorite color of Sock Plus 8 is Monterey Cyprus, with Jasper as a close second.

Lisa H. (aka MeanestMommy)

Beautiful pattern!!! Thank you so much for sharing!

My favorite colorway of Sock Plus 8 is Desert Rose.

Love just what you made…London Fog. More beauties, Hunter. toni

Another wonderful pattern, Hunter, and thanks for making it a freebie! Now that I’ve finished the secret pair, I have two more of your patterns on the needles, but there’s always room for another It was a hard choice between desert rose and berry pie, but I think the berry pie wins out!

Great pattern… delicate and delectable!
Love the Canadian-based Handwerks and Fleece Artist companies… my fav Handwerks colourway is Silver Dollar DK, reminiscent of the fog in Atlantic Canada!

The Nandina colorway does look wonderful for an autumn pair of socks–and i would Love to make your new pattern in it! Thanx-

Beautiful socks and thank you for the freebie!!!!

I love Jasper!

Beautiful socks, MUST MAKE!!!!!

Such a wonderful gesture to give away sock yarn to make them too.

All the Handwerks colors are lovely, but Pacific View is beyond lovely, it’s GORGEOUS!

Such a lovely pattern! I’m TOTALLY doing this next month for SKA! My favorite color has got to be Berry Pie.

another great pattern – I’m looking forward to trying it out. nice yarn, too. My pick would paprika!

So many lovely colors. Chocolate Cherries must be a favorite, but of course, I’m always swayed by chocolate.

I love the sock pattern, I can’t wait to get through the pile of WIPs I have so I can make more socks.
I love the sock yarn in Smoke–so pretty.

The Nandina color is really pretty….looks toasty warm for the cold weather.

Amongst the Sock Plus 8 colorways, I’m thinking it’s Desert Rose I like best. Although the London Fog version combined with your beautiful new pattern is also quite fetching.

The Gramercy Sock design is lovely. I would love to knit these in Handwerks Smoke colour.

Love love love the Desert Rose.

ooh.. 8-ply. I love beefy sock yarn! London Fog is my favorite color. How does it compare to SG Bugga?

Thank you for the sock pattern! It is absolutely lovely! And what a nice gesture on your part to make it available to us! I think it would look very pretty in Sock Plus 8 “Desert Rose”!

Beautiful socks. I love your sock patterns. The yarn looks wonderful and her colors are terrific. I am torn between the London Fog and Smoke.

Hunter, another lovely pattern! I really like the Brick colorway with Smoke coming in as a close second.

Pick?? Well, there’s London Fog and Berry Pie and Pacific View and Desert Rose and Nandina and Monterey Cypress and Turquiose Inlay and… Pick?

That’s not much easier than picking my favorite of your patterns. Thank you you for the newest design…so lovely.

Yay! what a great pattern! I’m definitely going to knit some of these soon, they’re lovely and airy, which is good because we’re just coming into spring/summer over here in australia kudos to you on the book, it sounds very interesting.

My fav sock plus 8 colour is: Nandina. Such lovely oranges and reds.
good job hunter

What a beautiful pattern – how generous! I love the Berry Pie color, but London Fog is quite beautiful.

That is a wonderful sock pattern. I like the original color – London Fog.

What a gorgeous pattern! thank you for sharing it.
I love love love the Milkweed colorway.

I love most of them, but Seacliffe is the one that speaks to me atm. It’s a nice calming colour which is important to me atm.

Sewsable on Rav

Thank you for the pattern and for the opportunity/chance to win some lovely yarn. I always have preferred pinks/purples – I was not surprised that I like the colorway Desert Rose. Thanks, again!

Such a delightfully lacy pattern! And I’m particularly fond of extra-squishy socks, so love knitting with the heavier yarns. My favorite colorway? Berry Pie for sure. I usually go for blues, but Berry Pie just leaves me drooling for the fabulous pie I had this summer on vacation. So Berry Pie it is!

Love the pattern. It will be for DD, so Berry Pie would be fabulous.

Now, the question is, do I knit them now, or wait til Hunter month on SKA? Of course, if I had SocksPlus 8 in Wine Country (who could resist!), I could make my decision much more quickly…

Ooh, the Nandina colorway is beautiful! Lovely sock pattern and thank you for the gift of making it free.

What a beautiful pattern! I love Sock Plus 8 Smoke colorway.

Hunter,
Yet another awesome sock pattern with a delightfully esoteric name – I love your word games! I would have to choose Paprika as my fave Sock+8 color – I married a Hungarian, and I swear he has paprika in his blood, so I might as well have it on my feet

Hi Hunter, I have only knit socks toe-up so far but I like this pattern so much I am going to give them a go, thank you so much for making it free too! I have admired many of your sock patterns – well done for being so inventive with the ‘simple sock’. I love all the colours of the yarn but think the Jasper looks like super fun for socks

Pacific View for me! Love the pattern!

thanks for the free pattern, and looking forward to the book!
I think my favorite color of the Sock Plus 8 would be London Fog, but they’re all lovely.

I love the criss-cross laciness of your pattern. Berry pie is gorgeous. I am working on my third pair of Handwerks yarn socks and I agree it is a treat to knit with. I made a scarf out of her dk weight that was dreamy too.

Thank you so much for the lovely pattern!! I love lace socks! Handwerks yarn is also scrumptious…I think my favorite colorway in that yarn is paprika!

I am so going to make these knee highs. That lacy pattern is just begging to be stockings! One can never have too many free sock patterns, merci for that. Though, I’m torn between Smoke and Turquoise Inlay for colors…

Aren’t you good to us? Paprika sings, but Pacific View is lovely. Choices, choices.

Ooh – fab socks and pattern

Am in the middle of an orange/yellow/copper phase at the moment so Nandina is wonderful!

Love the pattern. Thank you! I’m also a fan of the Pacific View colorway. Such a deep blue.

Berry Pie is currently my favorite color. I’m new to knitting socks, was looking for my next project to spread my wings and learn a bit more (reading a chart) and saw your pattern on SKA. I’m heading to the Oregon coast in a bit and will partake in Blackberry Pie at Grateful Bread. Berry Pie is the perfect reminder of that! Thanks for all the patterns!

Another great job!! Love the color you chose – London Fog. Can’t wait for your book.

Just found your site. Awesome patterns!
I also can’t resist a giveway

The Handwerks Socks Plus 8 colour that has my heart is Jasper. Although for the Gramercy socks, Berry Pie might be a better choice.

all the colors are lovely!

i really like the wine country and the paprika!

The pattern is lovely. I would love to do them in the Jasper colorway.

Oh, it’s Turquoise Inlay for me. And this new sock is gorgeousness itself! Thanks, thanks, thanks. I just love your designs.

I love the new pattern Hunter! So lacy and pretty. And the color I love on the Handwerks site is Nandina.

Favourite colour – SMOKE
Thanks!
