Introducing...

the Lone Star State socks!





I am so pleased with these socks, which I have designed for my Sockapalooza pal. And I have also finished them with two hours to spare to count for my July socks for Sock a Month 3. Woo hoo!

Pattern: my own, based on top-down with heel flap
Yarn: Angel Yarns Sock Yarn in Red, White and Blue
Needles: 2.5mm Addi DPNs

I love these socks and have a friend (a Texan) who they'd be perfect for. I second the motion for you to divulge the pattern, please! :)

Gosh! *blush*

I'm about to go away for a few days. The pattern is scribbled in my notebook, after I get back I'll try to work it up into a format for others to follow. I want my Pal to get the first ever pair, but I'm very flattered that you would like the pattern. Be warned! I have never done it before, so they may be awful to follow!

I'll contact those that I can, but some of you who have commented don't have a blog/public blogger profile, so keep popping back to check on it. Alternatively, drop me a line at talesfromtheplain AT googlemail DOT com.

Thanks so much!
