Cranberry Biscotti project gallery
As part of our 100 days of patterns retrospective, we'll be sharing some project galleries featuring some favourite projects made from our patterns. Cranberry Biscotti (a free sock pattern) is my design with the most projects on Ravelry. I'm sharing a few of my favourites here, but do check out the project pages on Ravelry to see many, many more beautiful projects.
My original pattern notes and swatch for Cranberry Biscotti from 2004
Although it's not my first officially published pattern, I consider Cranberry Biscotti one of my very first original designs. I designed and knit my first pair back in 2004 - well before I had any idea that I could publish my designs or that I would one day start Sweet Paprika with Debbie.
I knit a couple of pairs as gifts before working up the pair in Messa di Voce in the cranberry biscotti colour combination of Canneberge, Café au Lait, and Hot Cocoa shown above.
Cranberry Biscotti is a great pattern for playing with colour combinations and using up leftover sock yarn. Here are some projects for inspiration!

Because tea and scones is the best pairing with handknit socks!

Of course the next best thing to tea and scones paired with knitting is café au lait and cookies, right? Cranberry Biscotti is our only pattern (so far) to include a recipe! The pattern PDF includes directions for making your very own cranberry biscotti cookies, as well as full instructions for knitting the socks. You can download your free copy here on our website, or through Ravelry. Please let us know if you decide to make either the cookies or the socks, we'd love to know how they turn out for you!

Choosing a Natural Dye Book

Knitting Comfortably: The Ergonomics of Handknitting
One month ago, I found myself in the emergency room with unbearable back pain. I later learned it was caused by a herniated disc and osteoarthritis (OA) that had taken over my entire lower back. Would I ever be able to dye yarn again, let alone... knit...?
Recipe: Watermelon Slushie
What do you do when you have a glut of watermelon? Freeze it and make watermelon slushie! I started doing this last summer and it's the perfect way to use up a watermelon, especially one that's a bit overripe. Plus, with a touch of lime and mint it really hits the spot on a hot day!
