Just a quick note to announce that I have posted a new free pattern, available as a downloadable pdf on Ravelry. It will remain free until January 1, 2014. That way, everyone who would like a quick, sockish Christmas pattern can take advantage of it at no cost!
The pattern is called "Slipperish Socks" and was created for the workshop I taught a couple of months ago. It is a toe-up sock pattern that works up quickly in worsted weight yarn. For extra usefulness, I have created the pattern to include sizes from older baby/toddler to large man--this naturally includes a wide variety of foot circumferences, from 4" to 11".
You can find the pattern here in my Ravelry "store." (I say that in quotes since all 4 of the existing patterns are free so far!)
Happy Holidays to everyone! I hope to be back writing more soon!!
