What could this be?

Is it…?

I think it could be!

Pattern: Gothic Lace Socks, designed by me and available very soon!
Yarn: Angel Sock Yarn (75% Wool, 25% Polyamide) in Red, shade #2185

This is the… *counts on fingers* …third version of this pattern that I’ve knitted! It’s very close to the original, with just some adjustments to the cuff and heel flap sizing. I love the star toe. It’s great if you have Kitchener angst, because it decreases down to just 6 stitches which are then threaded with yarn and pulled closed, like the top of a hat. And it goes so well with the “gothic arches” of the lace pattern and gives a little bit of excitement at the end of knitting a plain foot.

The first Broadripple sock is almost complete, too. I am on a roll!
