The Let's Celebrate Socks are inspired by the character Helen (Mary Lynn Rajskub). They are colourful, fun, and an all around party. They have been inspired by the scene in North of North in which Helen congratulates Siaja on securing herself a job with the city. While Helen wants to pop champagne and celebrate, Siaja looks at her dubiously, Helen responds “it’s champagne, it doesn’t count as drinking at work…”

Due to the fact that I have drawn inspiration from North of North, I will donate 50% of the proceeds from pattern sales to the YWCA Agvik Society in Nunavut. They have been helping women in Nunavut end the cycles of violence in their lives and their communities by providing safe shelter and support services to women and children who are fleeing violence, experiencing homelessness and other barriers.
