Wollmeise lets you know about color variations for each of her colorways, and I tend to ask for the super saturated ones. She speaks great english and replies promptly via email.<BR/><BR/>cheers,<BR/>lixie's secret palAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11438332.post-6041992224454462332007-03-30T08:44:00.000-07:002007-03-30T08:44:00.000-07:00I really think the Cable Twist Socks (the ones com...I really think the Cable Twist Socks (the ones completely on the right) would look great, but since the pattern is written for worsted weight yarn, you will have to add one repeat (14 stitch repeat) and who knows if it will still a woman's size foot, or add purl stitches between the cables. In any case I like them the best. The twisted flower sock is, I've heard, completely insane and may be the sort of thing that you can't knit away from a quiet place with the pattern right in front of you at all times. I haven't tried it, but if you do a search, you can see some knitters have started them. I did buy her Thelonius pattern, and it's pretty crazy even though the finished sock looks deceptively simple *smile*. That said, the new Cookie A. patterns are incredibly well written. If nothing else, perhaps some baby cable rib socks: http://knitonequilttoo.typepad.com/photos/knits_2006/2006034961.html<BR/><BR/>I do agree a pattern with some um, pattern, to it will look great with the yarn as the color changes are subtle.<BR/><BR/>cheers,<BR/>your secret palAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
