I have this yarn. It's yarn that many knitters worldwide stalk as if it is a lion on the Serengheti. Me? I lucked into it. A friend (LittleMy) from Knittyboard sent it to me in a secret pal swap. I knit a pair of socks out of it and I wear them at least weekly in the winter. I had a lot left over, so I thought I'd knit another pair of socks. They needed to be special, so I looked for a pattern. I didn't find one. I looked through a stitch dictionary, and found this:
a pattern called lily. Here it is in yarn with decreases and yarnovers.
It looks better on my right foot, because that one is wider. (It's the one I broke back when we lived in Lexington.) The pattern opens up a little more.
On the bottom, is the view someone else will see when they look at my feet (hey, I have nerdy friends). I think it looks like a jelly fish (which is also cool). On the top, is how they look when I look at my feet. I do that sometimes, especially when I'm wearing hand knit socks. They make me happy.
I need to make some decisions about these socks. Do I enter them in the fair? Should I write up the pattern? Or shall I keep them mine, and mine alone?
