March Madness

In honor of March Madness and the Sock Knitters Anonymous March challenge, which is cables and traveling stitches, I have discounted my Garnet Lattice and Carborundum sock patterns.

Carborundum is a beaded sock with a diamond motif in traveling stitches. It includes charts for the leg, heel, gusset and foot and written instructions for sock construction. It is for sale on Ravelry using the button above or this link: buy now (no Ravelry account is necessary. You can use your PayPal account).

Garnet Lattice is an allover pattern of interlocking diamonds accented with beads and eyelets. The charted pattern includes a lattice-patterned toe. The download includes charts for two sizes and written instructions for sock construction. You can purchase using the button or this link: buy now.

If you don't want to use Ravelry for the transaction you may email me at maria.mckeeth@gmail.com. Please include your PayPal address and which patterns you wish to purchase. I will send you an invoice via PayPal. The sale prices are US$3.00 for Carborundum and US$2.50 for Garnet Lattice. You will receive a complete PDF of the patterns you order. No physical copy will be sent.

On the twelfth day of Christmas my True Love sent to me...

Twelve noise citations,
Eleven tow trucks towing,
Ten Sharks a-skating,
Nine traffic cops,
Eight buskers busking,
Seven baby possums,
Six Canada geese,

Five live octopuses!

Four tabby cats,
Three hummingbirds,
Two Muscovy ducks,
And an egret in a western red cedar.

“I think I know what he’s going to get for Valentine’s Day this year.”
“Oh yeah? What’s that?”
“Divorce papers!”
