I thought I'd show off two pair of recently completed pair of socks.
Pattern: My own design based on the simple ribbed socks - I think this might what others call a mistake rib stitch.

I found a designer who is new to me and I love her work. The designer/distritor is Arnhild. Check out these amazing patterns for stranded knitting. Just to whet your appetite and to remind me that these are in my queue:
Just so there's no mistake - this is a photo from Arnhild's website. I haven't decided on a yarn and colorway yet. Arnhild also sells a great book of patterns called Raumagarn which contains English interpretation provided I think by Arnhild. This book is definitely 'on my list'. It is inexpensive (under $20) and I have missed out on a few books by waiting and then they go out of print. I am not missing this one!
Well, these ain't the best pics, but I haven't been posting much lately and wanted to do something. I should be getting batteries tomorrow and will be able to show off the Child's Socks from Knitting Vintage Socks, mittens from the Opinionated Knitters, and headband from a pattern by Lolly of Lolly Knitting Around and a coordinating neck warmer.
