diamonds in his shoes

Laura Patterson Fiberdreams designed "diamonds in his shoes" for her DH, using Maizy sock yarn by Crystal Palace. The pics on this page of our website has a link to her SockPatternswithCrystalPalace and you can also see a variety of Maizy colors HERE

What's particularly interesting to me is to see the lovely version of the same design knit by
Veganknitting, also in Maizy.

I really like how this design looks! Kudos to both LP and Vegan knitter!

Star Search - Wednesday this time!




I wanted to show you a gorgeous man's sock design by Laura fiberdreams, for the new Maizy (corn fiber) yarn. The innovative title is "diamonds in his shoes"!

Laura [hmmm why do i love that name? LOL) has graciously permitted CPY to post the pattern, but do remember copyright, and specifically that the pattern is for personal use only! It is Laura's design!

I do understand the fun & agony of designing for one's significant other. In my case, Al has this thing about TALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL socks, so he wants a sock that's about 13 in above the heel, and then of course the larger man's foot.
so i usually do socks for him with a sport/dk wt. Merino-5 is a perfect yarn, knits quickly and soooo soft and lovely, and he's a happy camper.

blessings, :L, laura
ps have pics of a just finished "Ribbons" sock design using the new Panda Silk.
