Embossed Leaves is a pattern I've had in my queue forever. It just needed the perfect shade of green. I found that in Pinewood - a colour Mom created when we got our first shipment of Twisted Top Cat. I love it - it's a has varying shades deep green with touches of brownish-green.
The Twisted Top Cat is a joy to knit with. Soft and warm like our regular Top Cat, but with a high twist that adds that extra sproing!
The pattern is very easy - and one of those patterns just seem to make the knitting fly by. I made a few small mods: 1) the cuffs are shorter - only about 4 inches (and just the way I like them!). 2) The foot has a star toe, but I just continued the pattern right to the end.
This pic is a little blurry, but it shows the stitches nicely. The socks are on my feet now, and they are keeping everything nice and toasty! Now... what should I do for my next socks?

I like taking the pattern to the toe if I can, though I've found I prefer a different toe to the standard which doesn't support me doing that; can't win em all I guess.
Very nice!! :)
Pretty!
Oooh I really like these socks! I'm a sucker for leaf patterns, and they look so cozy!
Lovely! I made these but the yarn I chose did not hold up, so I am thinking of transforming them into arm warmers.
they are amazing!!!!! Great job.
Nice!
Very pretty - I like the lace pattern!
Like, like, like!
