I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a copy of your pattern!
They’re gorgeous. I love the line, “Nothing exceeds like excess”! Well done!
Will there be a pattern for the Waterfall socks, too?
They’re bee-u-ti-ful! Glad to know the pattern’s available too. I’ll be ordering that shortly.
Really Beautiful.
Lovely – I just wish I could knit faster!
LOVE them! And there’s no reason why one couldn’t knit them top-down instead, is there? The “cable” looks like it would look just fine running in the reverse direction…
Your socks are beautiful. I order the pattern. Is ther a pattern for the waterfall socks?
I love them! I have a quick question. I’ve looked and everywhere I do it says that the J. Knits is 420 yards to 4 ounces. The other yarns you have listed are more than 500, but not the J. Knits. I have some Cherry Tree Hill that is 420 and would love to use it, but I have been fooled by sock yarns before.
A yarn store opened locally and I was shopping for a specific weight sock yarn (very thin) and the owner was showing me other sock yarns. I kept telling her that I needed a thinner one and she said something to the effect that they are all sock yarns, as if they could be interchangeable. I hope the shop makes it. I hope they have more knowledgeable staff….
Beautiful pattern. Just lovely.
Oh, these socks are gorgeous!!! When I make my way back to sock knitting, I’ll definitely be stopping by for this pattern.
And I totally am with you–Spumoni–perfect for the socks in the next post!
