Embossed Leaves Socks

This is one of those patterns that everyone who knits socks has been making. It's very pretty (click on the photo to enlarge if you want a better view of the texture) and not too hard. These particular ones were knit using Seawool, a blend of wool and a silk-like fiber made from seaweed. This fiber is said to release nutrients as you wear it! I am a sucker for yarn with ambition. Unfortunately, the only color that isn't true in the picture is the rich, glossy purple of the socks in real life. (Though that too looks better when you enlarge the picture.) Addi turbo circs. (#2), pattern in Interweave Knits' "Favorite Socks."

Staci's in love with the purple socks...and while I admit that they are quite lovely, I want to know all about the shoes! Love them!

All of these shots of your shapely calves is making me think of Victorian pornography.
