Very nice! Definitely a lot of work for a sock, but so worth it.
Very intricate pattern – well done! I’m more of a simpleton when it comes to socks; I branch out once in a while but I always return to my stockinette socks.
Hmmm….. These are in my queue. I guess I should wait until I’ve got less to do so I can concentrate. (oh — I’ve started the hat but have sort of stalled on it while finishing up some other stuff…..)
The sock is absolutely gorgeous!!! Will have to check your other posts to see what else you have knitted.
GOR-GEOUS!!!
Your kitting is beautiful!
