Zsuzsanna Orthodoxou Knitwear

Introduction

Hello, I'm Zsuzsa Orthodoxou.

I design and make knitwear, and I also write the patterns for creating it.

Accessories are particularly close to my heart: they can be made relatively quickly, while offering plenty of opportunities to try out and combine different yarns, colours and knitting techniques.

Lately I've also become very interested in machine knitting, especially the hand-cranked circular sock knitting machine.

I'm delighted to be taking part in Yarn Market Budapest's December fair. I'll be bringing knitting patterns with sample pieces, socks made on a hand-cranked circular sock knitting machine, and sock tubes.

That last item may need a little explanation.

The most time-consuming part of knitting socks is the long stretch of stocking stitch. I do that part for you on my hand-cranked circular sock knitting machine. You receive one sock tube, or more if you wish, with enough for at least one pair of socks. That leaves you the creative part: adjust the tube to your size and add the cuff, heel and toe, perhaps in a contrasting yarn. You may know these as afterthought heel socks.

It's a great way to use up leftover yarn, and a big help when you want to make hand-knitted gift socks quickly.

If you like, you can bring fingering-weight sock yarn to the fair. By prior arrangement, I can make your sock tube and post it to you within a few days.
