These socks are lovely! I am so tempted to try this pattern. Do you think that they would work in a tweed yarn?

Congratulations again! What a lovely place Kew seems to be. Perfect socks to compliment the place. Great work Polly!

Yay Polly! I'd only looked at the pattern quickly and hadn't clocked your name at the top - well done.

Great looking socks, and all the other pics as well! The socks are in the to-be knitted queue!

Lovely socks and lovely images of Kew which make me feel very nostalgic. Those socks have certainly earned their place in Knitty, well deserved.

It makes this issue of Knitty all that much better!

Posted by: susan at October 22, 2006 03:27 AM

Congratulations on having your pattern published. The yarn and leaf design are perfect.

Posted by: NORA at October 22, 2006 01:34 AM

Beautiful socks and very aptly named too! Congrats on getting on Knitty. I notice on the pattern that you used 3.25 mms, is the sock yarn a bit thicker than the standard?

Posted by: Jacinta at October 22, 2006 12:27 AM

Lovely socks and images. Well done on the Knitty submission.
