Mieko by Yuki

June 10, 2020

Yuki, who designs many popular sock patterns such as Karesansui and Thomasson. This time, Parade knit short socks that are perfect for spring and summer.

amirisu: Where did you get the inspiration for this design?

Yuki: I don't have much to call it inspiration, but since it's the Spring/Summer issue, I made a pattern for short, tight-fitting socks.

amirisu: If you were to knit another one, what color would it be?

Yuki: If it's a specific yarn Prade, it's either Helsinki or Dublin. Since the designation is warm colors, I would like to knit in cold colors.

amirisu: What inspired you to start knitting?

Yuki: I think I knitted for the first time when I was in elementary school, but I don't remember it at all.

I started knitting continuously after seeing Mariko Mikuni's content in Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun. How can you knit something so cute! So I went to buy a book, thread and needle.

amirisu: Please let me know if you have any recommended shops or places near your home (I dream of the days when I can travel freely).

Yuki: It's not near my house, but I like Suzumeya in Ikebukuro. Dorayaki is delicious.
