Pattern Three – Talia’s Wings

Pattern number three is finally here. It is indeed the “heart” pattern but possibly not exactly what you expected. It is a very cool sock though and it introduces a little change of pace yet again as this one is toe-up.

As always we remind you to knit it as written. The only mods allowed are extra repeats to add length for bigger feet or for those who prefer longer sock.

At this point there are more of you in the cheerleading section and we hope you’ll keep knitting along and sharing pictures in flickr and on Ravelry. We still want to see your socks – especially the designers. Just don’t email them to us.

Here is what our designer, Yarnyenta (aka Heatherly), has to say:

Five years ago, happily contented with out little family of 5 children, I taught my self to knit. Being afraid to knit “wrong” I checked out every library book on knitting and read them cover to cover. It took several weeks before I even tried to cast on. When I finally did, everything clicked and I found something I loved to do. The joke in town seems to be if ANY one has needles and yarn, they must know Heatherly because she is always teaching someone to knit or talking about knitting. This is where the Yarn Yenta comes in, always talking about yarn, and matching people and projects up. 

Then we were surprised to find out someone was missing from our family. We were unexpectedly blessed when Talia Grace entered our lives. She has grown up teething on yarn, tangling herself in my knitting, ripping out stitches whether or not Mommie asks her to.

According to an ancient legend Talia is the angel who escorts the Sun and keeps it on its daily course. Our Talia, being 3, believes our world revolves around her also. The angel wings in this sock melt in to hearts just as our angel Talia melted our hearts.
