The ever vigilant admins at Ravelry have worked the magic needed to grant me a real live pattern page! The Ravelry page is here, and the pdf of the pattern is here.
Also, the nimble fingers and eagle eyes of my fantastic test knitter spotted a glaring error in the original pattern. It has since been fixed, but if you downloaded it before 4:00pm on March 16 2009, you might want to grab a new copy.

Much to my surprise, quite a few people at Ravelry seem to like my Popped socks. I’m oddly thrilled. It seems some kind souls are even actually knitting them with their very own yarn and needles and hands and knitting time. It’s a rather nifty feeling. From their enthusiastic comments, it seems I may have successfully avoided writing a pattern for a llama saddle and indeed written one that results in socks!
I’m currently waiting on the Ravelry powers that be to bestow their blessing on the pattern page. Reports differ on the time involved in this process, but I’ll let you know when it happens. In the mean time, the pattern is still available here. If the Ravelry love fest continues, it may be joined by yet more patterns in the future.

I made socks. I make a lot of socks, and I am inordinately pleased with these particular ones. They’re actually mine, not taken from a pattern or inspired by a stitch in a stitch dictionary. They’re kind of nifty (I’m biased though). See?
But wait, there’s more. More of my feet that is. They go on for miles.
I’m fairly smug and full of myself, but on the off chance you like them, you can make them too. Download the pattern here. Aren’t I keen? Actually, I may sort of suck. In addition to being my first solo attempt at making socks, it’s also my first attempt at writing a pattern. There are likely errors. You might accidentally knit a poncho or a hat or a llama saddle. Pay attention.
