Well, my previous post had a lot of pretty PC socks, but it seems upon mature thought, that it's better to have shorter posts with bigger pics featuring all the hard work of the various designers.


so this is a new post with better attributions.

The pics here are of the design "Checkered leaves" in Panda Cotton by Nancy Wild

You will seeing MORE, a LOT more, by this talented designer, who's also just opened a shop [see her blog for details].

Panda Cotton Socks

Time for more "show and tell".
I'm in pain from the weather-related issues of a former broken ankle and the pounding headache brought about by roofers since 6 am! [start early to avoid the heat.... only 2 more days to go! LOL] so while my foot is propped up here are some pics for you!

These wonderful sock pictures and their patterns (or links) can be found at CrystalPalaceYarns






















all being different panda cotton socks!!

I think i shared that i'd never found a cotton i wanted to use for socks, and CPY has at least two
yarns that have made a total convert of me!


These last two pics are two different patterns done with the Nightlights colorway - and one is my own design to show off the gorgeous colors.














Hmmm... we don't have all the colors here yet!
looks as though i'd better get busy playing with more yarn, oh what a sacrifice! LOL
