A few of you have already seen them in progress, but I have to brag on them. They are my first lacy type socks (well what I call lacey) and a challenge to knit for me. Challenging in the point of paying attention. Knitting usually relaxes me soooo much, well, I loose my place, stitches fall off, you get the picture.
Cpurl was the lucky receipient of these socks! Check out her post...sigh...glad these were a good ending to a very long day for her.
Embossed Leaves from the Favorite Socks Book
Wollmeise 100% superwash sock yarn
Wilder Mohn Colorway (hehe..this name, it just cracks me up...yo' wilder mohn!) ok, well I think it's funny!
Well, she likes red and pink so I thought this colorway would be good!! I sent her a mini skein for repairs and still have plenty to make a short pair for me...maybe mini-ones like hers, one day.
I have to confess, I don't really care for garter edged heel flaps. They are no fun to pick up stitches, but I am getting better at it. Mine she knit for me are here in town...somewhere! Just hoping within a few hours they are in my hot little hands! Stay tuned for an update!

Beautiful! You did a really nice job, and the color way really looks nice with the pattern!
What!? Your first attempt at lacey socks? You are an amazing knitter!!
I'm going to meet a friend for dinner so they may make their public debut tonight! (But they're so pretty I don't want to ruin them!!)
