Interlocking Leaves
Hi blog! It’s been a while, but you know how that goes. I’ve been super swamped with work and we’re “sheltering in place” in preparation for hurricane Ike (we’re in central Houston, so no worries – we’re pretty safely out of harm’s way). I’m dropping in all quick like and tell you about these socks.
A few months ago we made the Squares for Sharron blanket. One of my squares had a stitch pattern that I fell in love with, so I sockified it and made these:
The Interlocking Leaves socks are available in Knitty, Fall 2008!
They’re worked toe-up in one my favorite sock yarns – Tess Super Socks and Baby. Yummy yummy stuff. I worked a toe-up heel flap, sort of Widdershins-esque, but a bit different (more true to top-down construction) in the heel turn. And of course they have an Eye of Partridge heel flap, as is my way!
I hope you like them! I’m still working my way towards the sock-a-month plan, and these are August’s socks, even though I knit them in May and I’m blogging them in September. I haven’t yet blogged July’s socks yet, but the next post will talk about those and September’s pair. I’m on a roll!

Yay – congrats! I love the socks, but I really love the shoes! And the good thing about sitting around waiting for the hurricane today was that I got a lot of knitting done. Hope you did too! :)
I completely missed the connection from the pattern to your blog! I love the pattern and I’m excited to hear they are toe up even. My normal habit is cuff down because I like heel flaps, so this will be a nice heel to try.
This is the pattern from the wonderful Fall issue that I will definitely be making. Great job! They are lovely, unique, and I love that they’re toe up with a heel flap.
I heart those socks! They were the first photo I clicked in the new Knitty.
Take care in the hurricane. We’re bracing for the rain up here.
I like the socks, but I want to know what shoes those are!
Those are wonderful!!
Very pretty socks. I also want to know about the shoes. I think I have seen them in a bright green that I would like to get to know better.
i love these socks! they are so beautiful and CONGRATS!!! :) when i saw your name on there, i thought OMG OMG!!
I agree w/ The Lady. what shoes are those/ :)
I LOVE these socks, fell in love as soon as I saw them on Knitty. These are my next-socks-to-knit – beautiful! Just have to find the “perfect” yarn now…
What lovely socks – thank you so much for sharing them!
I love these socks! Definitely in my queue. I usually just adapt patterns to toe-up, it’s so nice to have one written that way.
very pretty, def. in my queue!!! congrats!
they’re beautiful, as always. i love the heel :)
Congrats! These socks are gorgeous…my favorite thing in the whole new Knitty. I’m so excited to try a toe-up pattern with the sort of heel I like best.
I hope everything is going ok for you, post-hurricane!
Those sure are purty socks! Love that lace pattern :) congrats for publishing in knitty!!!

You are like a sock designing superstar. I love your sock patterns, K. If I could actually convince myself to knit a pair of socks in a timely manner, I would cast on right now. The patterns are gorgeous.
It was only a matter of time before you were published! These are so beautiful. Perhaps I can make them after I finish school in the spring! Hope you weathered Ike OK.
Oh. My. God. You are my new sock goddess. Have you been Chummed by limenviolet?? I think you should be… ;)
Hope you’ve made it through the hurricane, Canada sends our love to you folks.
Congratulations! You’re very talented. Can’t wait to cast on my pair of those gorgeous socks.
I just wanted you to know I really enjoy your blog, I rarely comment on blogs but I have passed an award on you on my own blog.
Holy Crud! I’ve been so busy with work I just now saw this! That’s awesome. Hope things are going well after Ike.
Such gorgeous socks! Your knitting is truly perfection.
