Hi! Those socks are incredible! Truly. Since they were a sample knit, I suppose you had to say “goodbye” to them? Too sad!

I like these. They appeal to my degree in Classical Studies.

Gorgeous! Isn’t it amazing that, with only two stitches, there is always something new to try?? One of the very best things about the fiber arts for me….

And hey – I’ve joined your ranks – I had to claim my sample knitting $$ for the first time this year on my taxes!

I know I already commented in flickr but really, these socks and the incredible job you did on them deserve another compliment! I too love that band around the ankle (great design element from Gryphon)…and the floats, those lovely floats!

So tell me, how does mosaic knitting differ from stranded knitting?

WOW! Those are killer socks! I have no idea how one would do mosaic knitting in the round – my head hurts just thinking about it! Beautiful work.

I *never* could knit those socks. they are beautiful, but I think the colorwork would knock me out.
… and now I have to google for the “catching floats” and the mosaic-thing… so many terms I don’t know (and probably won’t learn in my lifetime!)

anyhoo – the socks look glorious. I also love the color-combo, though I’m not a girl for yellow
