Diamondy Socks (a little present for you)
A while back (February 2007, to be exact) I designed a pattern and knit a pair of socks for a friend. It was something that I had been looking for, but I couldn't really find anything like it. I decided to just do it myself.
Once I finished the pattern, however, I didn't know what to do with it. I contemplated submitting it to Magknits or Knitty but I never did because, honestly, I fear rejection. Maybe it's not complicated enough! So I just held onto it and kept it a big secret - all written up with pictures and everything.
Well tonight I was talking to MJ and I decided to just take the plunge! She's been ever so nice to host the PDF for me so I can release the pattern to all of you. I hope someone makes them!
So without further ado I present...

The pattern is written for a light fingering weight yarn, but because of the construction it should be fairly easy to modify for other sizes or yarn weights. Let me know if you need any help. :)
The pattern is available as a PDF download via Ravelry: download now

The socks are really pretty - thanks for posting your original pattern! I am amazed at the generosity of sock designers, to share their patterns with all of us.
Those are very nice socks. Frankly, I don't think it's about difficulty for Knitty (or Magknits), but "professional" looking photos, so you should try!
Thank you for the beautiful pattern and an extra special thanks for making it available in pdf!
I cannot imagine anyone rejecting this darling pattern. Thanks for sharing.
Many thanks for this wonderful pattern. I used it for my latest socks.
