The kind of place keenWhale keeps coming back to

keenWhale is the mark I carry.
Natalija is the person behind it.

I knit a lot, read constantly and write whenever I have something to say.
Sometimes I bake bread too.

This site is a mix of all that.

VALINOR SOCKS

2025 1013 12301500

Valinor Socks bring together structure and softness – a textured cuff-down design with a calm rhythm and a clean look. The stitch pattern is based on 2×2 ribbing, giving just the right amount of stretch and definition. The pattern includes seven stitch counts, clear charts, color-coded instructions and detailed video tutorials for every step.
