Beautiful! My first thought when I saw the photo was to frantically wonder if there's enough in my paypal right now. . . can't wait to get the pattern. The back seam shaping is a really nice touch.

Posted by: karrie | March 14, 2006 01:30 AM

Posted by: Bea | March 14, 2006 01:46 AM
Well, you've done it again. They're absolutely wonderful and you've made me want a pair for myself. Again. How do you find the time to knit so much? I'm so envious of your knitting skills. Can't wait to buy the pattern!

Imagine my surprise when I check your blog expecting to find the third installment of the lace series which by the way I was never really into until I read your tutorials and instead see these beautiful monogrammed argyle socks.
Bravo, I anxiously await the pattern.
Posted by: Valerie | March 14, 2006 09:12 AM
I have been really enjoying your lace tutorials, but dream about your argyles! These socks are truly breathtaking!
Posted by: Liz K. | March 14, 2006 09:38 AM

Posted by: Lelah | March 14, 2006 10:07 AM
Oh my gosh...Those socks are spectacular! My humungous calves are dying to be camoflaged by socks from your pattern. You have such talent!

Posted by: moody knitter | March 14, 2006 10:28 AM

Posted by: holly | March 14, 2006 10:32 AM
Wow. They are really really great!
Posted by: Karen | March 14, 2006 10:37 AM
Oooh. So pretty. I'm very impressed.
Posted by: Jennifer | March 14, 2006 10:45 AM
ooh - I bought similar colors (of Knitpicks Merino Style) for the Deep Argyle V neck...so glad to see they work well together in argyle :)
Nice work...as usual!
Can you make something that sucks once, so we don't think you're perfect? HAHA!
Posted by: Julsey | March 14, 2006 11:18 AM

Posted by: --Deb | March 14, 2006 11:54 AM
Oh my goodness. They are FAB! I love the heel flap and the pinstriped sole. Love. Love love love.
Where do you find the time to do such detailed knitting so quickly? And to document it so thoroughly and entertainingly? You're a real wunderkind, that's for sure.
Posted by: Beth S. | March 14, 2006 12:23 PM
just amazing!
Posted by: joelene | March 14, 2006 12:57 PM
Those are fabulous! I can't wait for the pattern.

Those are MORE than fabulous! I must knit them even though I sort of swore off knitting complicated knee-high socks every again... shut up... I can take it back! :D
Posted by: Miriam | March 14, 2006 01:20 PM
Absolutely, fan-frickin-tastically awesome! I cannot wait until you have this pattern ready for the masses. Until then, I will humbley bow at your feet.
Posted by: Nanc | March 14, 2006 01:51 PM
So cute! You did such a great job.
Posted by: Brooke | March 14, 2006 02:01 PM
Oh, I want those. Noooo! Don't hide them in the boots! although it is a fun hidden detail. If they only knew....
Posted by: Carrie K | March 14, 2006 02:01 PM
Beautiful stockings!
Posted by: Carin | March 14, 2006 02:23 PM

Finally! - I've been longing for them since the first time I saw them, they are SO pretty! I so look forward to your by-and-by pattern ;-)
Posted by: Nina Nielsdottir | March 14, 2006 04:53 PM
I LOVE the sock. I can't wait for the pattern. Love it, love it, love it.

Posted by: Amy | March 14, 2006 05:55 PM
sooo cute! The colors are amazing! Did you make one or two??
Posted by: mia | March 14, 2006 07:00 PM
You continue to terrify me. But in a good way.
Posted by: Carla | March 14, 2006 07:16 PM
You are truly a knitting goddess! These are too great to cover up with knee-high boots; you need a pair of those clear rainboots that will show them off.
Posted by: Birdsong | March 14, 2006 08:05 PM
You amaze me everyday! You are my inspiration to become a better knitter! LOVE the socks!
Posted by: Kelly | March 14, 2006 08:24 PM
Ok, Miss Eunny...
So I, of course, LOVE the socks, but what I really need to know is where you got those boots!
LOVE those. Must own my own pair.
Thank you. :-)
Posted by: paula | March 14, 2006 10:08 PM
LOVE 'EM! Very inspiring!
Posted by: ivete | March 14, 2006 11:23 PM
Those are rockin socks!
Posted by: Debbie | March 15, 2006 07:02 AM
Me again, you should submit the pattern to Knitty.com
Posted by: Debbie | March 15, 2006 07:02 AM
Those are sooo cute. Those are my soro. colors. Eunny you are amazing !
Posted by: Marissa | March 15, 2006 10:30 AM
They are perfect!!!
Can't wait for the pattern and have already buyed the yarn ;-)
Posted by: Christine | March 15, 2006 12:04 PM
Those stockings are beautiful! I was in middle school when Bermuda bags, wearing pink-and-green anything, and the must-have grosgrain ribbon headbands were all the rage. Those socks would have been soooo popular back then--and now I love them just as much as I would have coveted them in my adolescence. I love the letter on the heel--what a great idea!
And I'm loving the lace classes--thanks for doing that for the rest of us!

Posted by: Kenny | March 15, 2006 03:26 PM
I just found your site from the lace knitting tutorial on whipup.net. I wanted to tell you how impressed I am with the gorgeous pieces you have made! I'm totally inspired to get out of my knitting rut (baby hats, easy sweaters) and try something new...
Posted by: Jen | March 15, 2006 03:39 PM
Hey, I finished my sock too! Yours is adorable, of course.
Posted by: Stephanie | March 15, 2006 03:45 PM
I'm not sure you haven't seen this, but the first completed vest that I know of was linked on craftster yesterday. :)

Posted by: Beverly | March 21, 2006 10:29 AM

I would VERY much like to have your argyle sock pattern w/monogramed heel when it becomes available!
Posted by: Meg | June 30, 2006 02:40 PM
You did a beautiful job!! I can not even change colors. Wow that was a lot of work put into that sock. No don't sport the socks with the boots wear them with a nice skirt. Folks need to see them. Great work! Please help the beginner sock knitters.

I found your site by accident (well, not quite by accident - I'm looking for yarn)and I'm blown away, not to mention humbled by your amazing socks. I'm looking for a pattern for man's sweater with a zipper, two pockets and a collar. Does anyone out there know where I might find such a thing? I'm not afraid of cable but somewhat daunted by anything trickier - and I need to knit this particular garment by Christmas. Help me!
(Please).

I LOVE these socks- you do such marvelous work. I'm going to try my hand at the Endpaper Mitts... but really really can't wait to get my hands on the pattern for these puppies!
Posted by: Robin | November 18, 2006 05:14 PM
Where can I get a copy of the pattern? I would love to make a pair knee socks. Do we just create from the graph? If so, I have no idea how to increase on the back part of the calf that is the tricky part.
Michele
Posted by: Michele | December 7, 2006 06:57 PM
They are beautiful!
Are you going to post/sell the pattern?
Posted by: Talia | January 12, 2007 08:30 PM
i just want to add my 2cents... can't WAIT for this pattern!!!!
Posted by: jill | January 16, 2007 10:42 AM
Any sign of this pattern becoming available any time soon? I'm in LOVE with these socks, and i'm pretty sure I have to have them.
