Okay, I've promised this and here it is.
The new sock pattern, Loksins!, is available for download.
I started this sock pattern several months ago, but it took a dedicated test-knitter and chart maker, a dedicated computer geek (by which term I convey the highest of compliments), two over-qualified proofreaders, and a bit of a push to get myself to finish the pair I'd started, to actually get this out into the world.
Many thanks to Sigga Sif and Jackie for all of their help. And to Julia and That Laurie for their proofreading. I did the easy part.
The price is $5 (US$). I'm still working on getting this into the sidebar (as well as the full version of the free Spring Anklets pattern). I'm a nervous wreck about letting this "baby" out on her own, but confident now that it's been fully vetted. If you have any questions please email me.
Very pretty, Cassie. But then, I knew it would be.

Cassie, those socks are great!
I bought it immediately. Now I just have to decide which yarn to use.

The pattern is beautiful! I especially like the way the leaf motif wends its way from the side of the leg and down the foot. Congratulations!

I'll download it tonight, when I'm on my own computer. It's fabulous and I can hardly wait to get my mitts on it! :-)
I want to put a picot edge on it. Would that be wrong? ;-)

Love the sock! Funny, I just finished designing(and knitting) a sweater and was looking for a new sock pattern to knit up. Hmmmmm.
Your new header is great!
