Designer Spotlight - Heidi Jokinen

Heidi Jokinen of @nordickittydesigns has a growing catalog of sock, scarf, and other accessory patterns. She lives in Southern Finland and enjoys nature, animals, summer, good food, traveling, and of course, yarn.

Waves is a tube scarf/cowl that really lives up to its name. The innovative design evokes waves gently lapping in a lake. Play the effect up or down with your color choice, you need less than 100 g of DK-weight yarn.

Bella is a pair of light fingerless mittens which are great for fall and spring when the weather is cooler, but full mittens aren't necessary. Or that office where the air conditioning is perpetually set to "arctic" but you still have to be able to type. These are designed so that it's easy to modify the size to fit. Pick any of the 23 solid colors available in Lankava Sulo, or get a multicolored effect with Viking Nordlys.

Summer Days is a pattern for fingering-weight, knee-high socks with fabulous colors and beautiful motifs, Whether you make them to keep your toes warm during chilly summer evenings, or to remind you of summer in the middle of winter, you'll be delighted with them, Viking Nordlys offers multiple different color options, and pairs perfectly with Sulo for this pattern. 

Ella Shawl is an easy, customizable pattern with several beautiful textures. Pick your favorite colors, use more than two if you'd like. Customize it to the size you need, and make it your own. Sulo has 23 different solid colors to choose from for this pattern. 

Summer Days socks have a kaleidoscope of butterflies which can be created in many different color combinations. A yarn like Viking Nordlys means that you don't have to be switching skeins and weaving in tons of ends to get a multi-colored result. I've put together several color combinations to make ordering the yarns for these socks super easy for you.
