pretty in pink

i've gotten the panda cotton out of my system.

may i present...

"menehune cobblestones"
my design to be available from crystal palace yarns


panda cotton in rosewater
2.5mm needles/gauge 9 sts/inch

as you can see from the photo, i didn't have much yarn left. there is about 3 yds in that little pile. i like panda cotton. it is very soft. it can be a bit splitty. i had problems when i knit "hedera" because i had to use a pointy knitpicks needle to knit the lace. however, this sock knit like a dream with the slightly blunter addi's.
if you are interested, i will let you know when the pattern is available for download.

i am almost finished with the gusset decreases on the mate for "monkey" but i do hear the siren call from the panda wool.... will i finish the pair of monkeys or... i am SO weak!

Hi Adrienne -

Your wonderful new sock pattern is now UP on our site. Thank you so much for designing a great looking sock and for taking the excellent photos, too!

The link is here, but it's also linked in the Sock Index and Free Patterns link, too.

We're looking forward to Design #2!
