cake walk socks - pattern now online!

I have just published my first ever knitting pattern!  Its for the socks I featured last week - and the pattern is now available on Ravelry for £3.50 or $5.00. 

So, if you fancy a new project, perhaps you might consider these socks ;o)

sneaky peek I: new socks

Time for a sneak peek of the new socks I just designed - my first sock pattern, so a bit scary.  I've knitted up the first one, and it seems to have worked!

I've decided to call them cakewalk socks as the textured stripe goes up and down :-)

Here is the heel, and the sock actually on:

Any feedback gratefully received... do all the elements work?

new twirly socks!

I got my pair of 'nine-to-five' socks finished last night - as ever I ended up sitting up in bed doing the grafting... can never wait till the morning! Here is a link to the Ravelry page for the pattern info - and here is my Ravelry page.

The spiral twisty pattern was a lot simpler than I thought it was going to be - no cable needles in sight, fortunately.

Here are the finished socks:

Heel detail (half linen stitch):

I like the way the twirls come down as part of the clock:

All in all I'm very pleased with how they've come out.  Next project is to knit some to my own pattern - wish me luck!
