A few months ago I designed these stockings inspired by Rapunzel with braided cables and eyelet ladders. The pattern is part of a feature on bloggers in the new issue of Knit 1, with profiles and designs by several great bloggers that I’m delighted to be alongside. This is the magazine photo of the stockings, though there’s something weird going on with the compression so they’re not very clear, I’m assured that they’re crystal clear in print though!
I sent them off to New York while Laura was visiting and I got her to take some photos of me wearing them. Unfortunately we were in a hurry and I’d posted them before we noticed that in every single one of the many, many pics we took you can see right up my skirt. Oops! So here’s a blurry one of me adjusting them because it’s the only remotely decent one and a tightly cropped detail shot. There’s definitely a lesson here about checking your photos before it’s too late.
I’m not entirely sure when the magazine will be out, but the website goes live on Monday so it shouldn’t be too long. Locals – we will have it in K1, but there’s usually a bit of a delay between when it comes out in the states and when it arrives here.

I love the Rapunzel concept and am somewhat obsessed with over-the-knee socks right now, so I will definitely have to make these!
beautiful! i’m looking forward to this issue
Oooh, I love these! I suspect I should attempt a pair of regular-sized socks first, however. :-)
Oh, congrats! They’re so lovely.
tee hee!
Those are lovely! I can’t wait to see the article.
Really lovely stockings!! Love the colors
so pretty and sexy
Braids and ladders–how perfectly Rapunzel! One more reason for me to buy this Knit 1 : )
They look very cozy. :)
Hi, I can’t wait for the pattern. I love stockings since I wear tall boots most of the time.
hott.
You and Jared both have a (delicately-cabled) pattern in the same feature in the same mag!
Those look lovely. I don’t usually pick up Knit 1, but it looks like I’ll have to this time!
they are as perfect as perfect can be! i’ve been wanting to knit myself a pair of socks (i’ve only done christmas stockings) and i think these might be my first! can’t wait. :)
Lovely! And, I have to ask: where did you get those beautiful shoes?
when I first heard about this article a few days ago, I was hoping you’d be featured in it! the stockings are so cute!!
I will totally buy that edition of knit1!!!
Best regards
by the way…. I LOVE YOUR SHOES!!! so cute :)
Cute socks, cute sweater! What pattern is the sweater from?
these are fantastic — going right into my ravelry queue. that whole issue of knit1 looks great.
Very cute! Brooklyn Tweed is in this issue too. A great idea!
They look so pretty, and look like they’d be really comfy too.
Oh those are so nice, Ysolda – and I am laughing my head off about your indecent photos…so funny!
those are beautiful socks! I can’t wait to knit them!!
Just in case next time if you have a problem with photos.. Photoshop is the best for fixing or covering!!!
Those are lovely! The website says the magazine is out December 16, but knowing bookstores in the states, copies of the issue will probably start popping up sooner rather than later. I know I’ll be stalking my local bookstore in anticipation!
Hm, I might try to get a hold of a copy, the stockings seem worth it.
I love this pattern! I think the braided cables and the ladders are so clever for the Rapunzel theme!
I love the socks. And… the shoes! Where did you, or whomever is wearing them, get them?!
Congratulations on your inclusion of the 8 knitters/bloggers in Knit.1 Magazine! I love the Rapunzel stockings; they look fabulous; and I look forward to making my own pair.
