Patterns up on Ravelry

The response for the two sock patterns has been huge and gratifying.  I hope everyone who does try knitting the patterns enjoys them.  Please know that both patterns are now available as free downloads on Ravelry as well as being available here.

Fiber Optic Socks on Ravelry

Which Way is Which Socks on Ravelry

These are the exact same patterns I've been sending people, it's just that if you're a Ravelry member you can download them yourself there now or at any time rather than waiting for me to send you an email with attachments.

I'm always happy to send the files, too, though, whether or not you're a Ravelry member.  I just wanted to be able to offer people this option.

2 free sock patterns!

I have pdfs available for two sock patterns.  These were designed some time ago, but you know how life goes.  In any case, if anyone is interested, email me or leave a comment and I can forward you the pdfs (one or both).

The two patterns are for:

1.  Which way is which socks

These fancy socks use a charted ribbing design to create a lovely diagonal diamond pattern.  It's very simple; there are just K and P stitches, and each row is knit four times before you change patterns.  This stitch pattern gives you a lovely, calf-conforming, never-drooping sock which easily fits many sizes from skinny to muscular legs.   Here are a couple of photos; there are more on the pdf:

2.  Fiber optic socks

These socks use simple increases and decreases to mimic a cable stitch.  Fun and easy to memorize, you need no cable needle, the rows go quicker than real cabling, and you can carry the work and knit anywhere.  My apologies, but I have no photo to post here; there are photos on the pdf.  I cannot find my original digital pics; my computer is having conniptions when I try to copy the photos out of the pdfs I made; and the original socks were sent out some time ago as a gift in a secret partner exchange!  Why the name "fiber optic?"  Because there's a techno war underway between Verizon and similar companies providing fiber optic services and the cable companies!

Happy knitting!
