Spring-Heeled Steph *
Somewhere at the beginning of my blog I mentioned I wasn't too excited about knitting socks. Oh man, was I ever wrong! During the whole Aimee trial I went to my LYS and picked up two skeins of Nature's Palette in the color spring grass, which is a softly variegated mix of aqua and snowpea green. I knitted them toe-up with short row heels, with a branch pattern from Nicky Epstein's 'Knitting over the Edge' which I mirrored to create the leaves in the middle. I love these socks, they were so much fun to knit! So please excuse the deluge of pictures:

the yarn also dyed my needles:

Oh I love those socks! When I think about knitting socks I think about pink in the Go with the Flow pattern from IK or that exact shade of green in a leaf lace... I really need some sort of "Want to know what I will be doing next/soon? Go see Steph" button for my blog.
Those are an amazing pair of socks!
(she gushes) All I can say is WOW!
Those are lovely!
Love the lace on your pretty green socks. Got to check out the pattern in my copy of Epstein's book.

Pretty Pretty Pretty! I love love love these socks. Love 'em! You seem to love green yarn as much as me. Love love love love them. I want to make these socks... now!
these are the most stunningly gorgeous pair of socks. as someone who is not a huge fan of sock knitting herself...i've decided i've got to start trying some funky designs in the hope that will keep my interest more.
O .... M ..... G! Love 'em. I need some now. Knitting On The Edge, you say? Anything I can bribe you with to give me your crib sheet? Anything at all? Please?
Oh what gorgeous socks you have made - wunderschön :o))

I was browsing through your FO galleries and came across these beauties - thanks for a great pattern. I will probably knit them as socks soon, but am currently knitting up a variation as fingerless gloves. They will probably be ready to show off in a day or two. Thanks again for the inspiration!
