i'm bookmarking this for future reference.
the socks are lovely!
ps. the first sentence of your post uses lots of big fancy words!

I'm so glad you're back (wherever you are?!). Thanks for the lovely pattern too. I dyed some sock yarn a couple of weeks ago and haven't been found the pattern that called its name. This is it! I knew it as soon as I saw your beautiful socks.
I hope your trip was fun.

Yes yes yes, great pattern...but are you posting from Seattle? How are you????

That is a lovely pattern, THNX! I hope you're here in Seattle with the rest of us crazy, rain loving knitters and spinners. It's been a typical spring so far, so no surprises there. The only question is "Where are we knitting this week?" There are lots of groups and shops. The LYS Tour is the 18th and 19th ~ check in at the Village Yarn and Tea website for details. It will give you a great start on the Seattle (area) knit scene. Welcome!

Hope good things are happening for you. :D

i love these! it's nice to see the finished project after seeing you work on them earlier. i think the pattern works remarkably well with a variegated yarn. i think i will have to make these!

Soooooo pretty. I think I see these in my near future. I even know what yarn to use just by looking at your pictures. The stitch pattern is so pretty, yet the chart seems easy to memorize. Thanks for sharing! Glad to see you're back!

Love love love the jigsaw pattern.
I'm going to try it toe up.
I heard about your jigsaw on the socks in the city podcast.

thank you SOOO much for sharing. I'm off to the stash to find yarn worthy of this pattern. The weekend is now spoken for!!

I am going to give these a try sometime soon - especially as you wrote out the instructions, rather than just using a graph. I've tried to follow graphs, but I swear they make my eyes cross. And you use the standard sock pattern I use - cast on 60 and divide by two needles - I (being an accounting OCD type to begin with) actually transfered my standard sock pattern onto a spreadsheet, which my fellow sock knitters find quite funny but I find quite useful, especially as this way my socks ALWAYS MATCH EXACTLY. Which is important!

Thanks!

Kathy
