Well, I’m glad I stopped by here! I am a member of SOS 08 and got the pattern. I just wanted to make a quick suggestion to put a shot of the whole complete sock in the pattern. The little snippets of the heel and foot really didn’t give me a good idea what the whole sock would look like, so I came by here to suggest it. Glad I did as you have shots of the full sock here!

I got it and cant wait to get it on my needles! Am thinking either Claudia Hand Painted in Strawberry Latte or Lornas Laces Girly Girl. Speaking of the LL, can this pattern be sized doen to fit a little girl w/ 8in length and 6.5in circ at the ball? If not no problem because I can find another pattern to fit her and make this one to fit me or another in my family :-)

My Bambino Figgy Pudding arrived the other day and it is by far one of THE very prettiest yarn I’ve ever seen. Thanks for showing it in the socks on your blog so I’d know about it, but have you considered using it for something that people will see more often like a shawl or sweater? It’s gorgeous and you can’t wear the same pair of socks every day.

I guess I better get my finished photos up on Ravelry huh? I can’t believe I forgot to photograph them. Obviously I’ve had too much on my mind. ;-)

They’re awesome! I will definitely remember to download my copy - how fun is it to realize that people across the world are getting your pattern right now? Congratulations :)
