Finally, I'm posting a new sock pattern for sale. This one is called Norn. Make of that what you will - the Norns of Norse mythology or the dead language. Or even the meaning of Norn in Icelandic.
I've worked on this pattern for the past ... two years. Actually, it pre-dates Loksins. But with the time I've taken with this pattern, I've been able to offer two different sizing/gauge options, as well as a couple of different variations on the pattern.
Some pictures:
Norn is a simple, stockinette-based sock with a dramatic back lace panel, the four-row lace pattern is easy to memorize, and knits up quickly, as well as having several options for variations on the pattern.
This is an option for a less-lacy version of the pattern, with a simple eyelet back-seam:
I've knit nearly five pairs of socks in this pattern now...
It looks good in slightly variegated yarns, as well as solids. From back to front, I've knit it in Regia Silk, The Woolen Rabbit sock yarn (an old one), Regia Tweed, and Fleece Artist Merino, as well as the current pair in Schaeffer Anne.
The pattern is available for sale by clicking on this link:
You know now much I loved this pattern! Yay...I'm so glad it's for sale and I love the new back lace pattern. :P)

I've been waiting for these since I saw you working on them at the last NYC knit-out. That was only a couple of years ago?

The sign of a good pattern is the ability/willingness to make it again and again. I love the back.

Just readig this now - a little late for your baby bird however... next time, you can feed him (her) cat food. Just offer it to the bird on a wooden tongue depresser, held a bit higher than his beak. (Like a mommy bird). When he is full he will stop and when he peeps again, fill him up. I know it seems strange but I work at a veterinarians and this is what we do.

Beautiful socks! It looks to me as if they are knit toe-up...?
