Sock knitting has been happening.
This is a pattern designed by Wendy Gaal of Knitter's Brewing Company
to honor Anna Zilboorg. It was meant to be embroidered and the kit came with a
few smaller amounts of yarn in different colors for embroidery.
I really liked the cable pattern just as it was so I didn't embroider it.
I am embroidering the Anna sweater I knit though - photos of that later.
I also knit an actual Anna sock pattern. This is Arcturus from Anna's Socks for Sandals and Clogs book. The book is long out of print, but thanks to Anna it has been made available as an ebook through Ravelry pattern sales (in it's entirety or as individual patterns).
Arcturus was one of the original free sole sandal patterns but is done slightly differently from the modern patterns. It is also knit in sport weight yarn rather than fingering.
It is a fun pattern to knit and since it is knit in a larger gauge, it is a quick pattern to knit.
I think it looks good too!

That is a lot of sock knitting! I'm not sure which ones I like better.
I'm with Diane, I like both pairs! I made a pair similar to the top ones and I must say they're fabulous to wear, fit really well. But that bottom pair is so unusual looking, splendid.
I really loved reading your blog. It was very well authored and easy to undertand. Unlike additional blogs I have read which are really not tht good. I also found your posts very interesting. In fact after reading, I had to go show it to my friend and he ejoyed it as well! knitting factory
