Here is my second finished make of 2021: neon pink socks.
I am hopelessly drawn to bright colors, and had purchased this Madelinetosh Twist Light Sock Yarn from Spun (my LYS in Ann Arbor) before I knew I wanted to knit socks. I used a relatively simple sock pattern in MAKING magazine Dots issue by Mary Jane Mucklestone, omitting the colorwork once I realized that you can’t do colorwork when you’re also knitting two at a time magic loop from a single skein (yet another knitting lesson learned).

My first make of 2021 is this colorful brioche shawl. I used the Briochealicious shawl pattern by Andrea Mowry. I have wanted to try brioche for some time but felt completely intimidated by it, but turns out 2020 was my year to learn brioche.

This is my most recent (and super swishy and comfy!) version of Trillium; I made a few easy mods to this one because it is made with rayon fabric. These are the same basic mods I made to this fun rayon maxi version of Trillium that I made back in 2015, so if you’re making a rayon Trillium, you might be interesting in trying these mods as well.
