Wow, those Blue Moon gals know how to make sock knitters happy.
The latest installment of the Rockin' Sock Club featured a choice of 2 patterns in a summery pastel colourway they call Goody Goody.
All I can say is yum. And thanks.
My only mods were a patterned heel flap, which I just can't stop adding to every darned project these days. These are a real yarn hog, with a peak stitch count of 84 for the medium size, so it was a bit of a nail-biter. There wasn't even enough left over for a blanket square!
Here they are, the Gumdrops socks, designed by JC Briar.
Jealous? There's a very similar colourway in Lorna's Laces, but the pattern itself won't be available until next year.
Signing off,
the Goody Goody
Beautiful heel and transition into the cuff! I can see why you are in love with it!

They look great! Love the patterned heel. I need to start mine. But withe the Ravelympics coming I'm holding off on starting another project.

Very cute! Patterned heel is a nice touch. I stopped knitting socks because I got bored turning a standard heel... I think this may remedy that.

I love them! Your heel mod looks great. I'm just starting mine, but I'm already addicted.

So pretty - the gumdrops look like little leaves (nice work on the heel!)
