Sybaritic
The sun came out on Sunday, and The Boy was gracious enough to go outside on a little photo shoot. I spent quite a lot of time sitting on the porch railing trying to keep my toes still, and he spent an equal amount of time cheerfully tramping through the (shamelessly overgrown and scandalously weed filled) flower beds. I’m fairly sure we confirmed the neighbors’ suspicions that we are a bit crazy. I think it was worth it though, as I now have even more pictures of my feet.
The pattern is up, and you likely know the drill by now. If you feel a burning desire to make these socks for yourself (and really who could blame you) click here to buy the pattern. If you have fallen madly in love with the yarn (and again, who could blame you) then you’re in luck, as the marvelous Liberty’s Yarn has agreed to donate a skein of it to a lucky reader (see isn’t it pretty)! Go check out the site, then come back and post the name of your favorite colorway in a comment. She’s got lots and lots of base yarns, so be sure to look around. I’ll leave comments open till Wednesday morning, and then pick a winner.
I’m really unreasonably tickled by these, so am subjecting you to yet another picture.
Love your new pattern.
My favorite Liberty’s Yarn color is “Glo worm”.
Your new pattern is beautiful! My favorite yarn is the Bluetopia yarn in Valere colourway. They really are beautiful yarns 🙂
I love how you’ve hidden the gusset in the leaf. Very clever. And pretty!
My favorite sock yarn over at Liberty’s is Kaguya in Eve.
I love the tendril that extends down the front of the foot. Lovely….just lovely!
I like Imagination/Kaguya.
Beautiful socks! Love sport weight patterns, and I’m getting these just as soon as my sport weight socks are done.
I can’t go look at Liberty’s yarn just yet, since Blogspot is blocked at work. I’ll leave a comment anyway. Love fall colors and greens, but if it’s free yarn I will not be picky. Promise to go look after work.
Beautiful new pattern.
My favorite is Thalweg in Bluetopia
Sweet pattern! My favorite yarn is Bluetopia Sock Monkey Dreams. Lovely yarns, she has.
Beautiful socks! I love the leaves. My favorite yarn is Sockingbird Kermis. She has such beautiful yarn.
I’m really torn between the Caterpillar and the Imperial. The Caterpillar is prettier and I love the little quote with it. But I could picture myself wearing the Imperial more than the Caterpillar, so I’d have to say Imperial edges out Imperial as my choice (but just barely!!).
Oops – typo!! I meant to say “I’d have to say Imperial edges out Caterpillar as much choice (but just barely!!)
I love the thickerbocker Kermis, it looks soft and cuddly.
Lovely pattern! I like the Bluetopia yarn, but I’m torn among the Thalweg, Chalkboard, Sockdolager, and Avar colors. They’re all so beautiful.
“Montol is a traditional Cornish midwinter festival. Celebrations include Guise dancing, the Cornish candle dance…” I’m completely taken with the Montol colorway (I live in Cornish!), and I think it works well with your fabulous pattern, since it could be candleflames as well as leaves 🙂
Lovely pattern–I can’t wait until Christmas knitting is finished so I can make it 🙂 My mom has been knitting socks for other people for months….I think this would be perfect for me to knit for her!
I like the chalkboard colorway in her Bluetopia yarns.
OMG, those socks are so pretty! The yarn is amazing. Red is my favorite color, and I love the shaded solids. *swoon*
There is a colorway called “Eve” in their Kaguya section that realllllly tickled my affliction for pinks!
Well, since I don’t have any purpley socks, I’d go for ‘montol’ in sportmagundi. Love the pattern!
I must have this pattern! And Lib’s Kermis to go with it! Gah! Lovelies…….
Wow.. I’ve never seen a green like Kermis. I love it… Also love the new sock pattern!
That is a really lovely sock pattern – you should be absurdly proud, and I for one did not object to the extra picture.
Browsing the Liberty yarns I loved the Imagination colorway in the kaguya line – but I’d be much more likely to wear the even more lovely Damson colorway in the Bluetopia.
I’ll definitely be bookmarking the site for future use 🙂
I could totally see me doing them in Avar
beautiful!!!
Love your new sockpattern, putting them on my queue at ravelry.
At Liberty yarns there was many beautiful colours, and my favourite is in fact Saturnalia.
I love all of Liberty’s stuff, but Kermis is my new favorite. I love green lately and this is the best green colorway I’ve seen. 🙂
Beautiful pattern!
Oh MY! I am drooling over the Bluetopia yarns in the ZEST colorway! I would love to make mittens with this. Such a shocking color for those cold, gray winter days.
(Love your sock pattern!)
