They are knit in my usual toe up fashion, however I used the patch toe from Duffy for the first time and the sherman heel that Mel explains so well.
The stitch pattern is from the 365 patterns a year calendar - it's called Crocus Buds. It's very simple, but gives a great texture. Very effective for handpainted yarns.
The richness of the yarn and stitch pattern is not fully visible in these pictures. The socks have to be seen to really get the impact.
I have to have more Koigu KPPPM - I can see more in my future - no matter where I have to go to get it.

Those are awesome. I bet they really look great in person. I can't wait to see the yarn you have been working on.... I will keep checking. Have a great day.

Ooh - gorgeous! Love that stitch pattern, gonna have to go look that one up. (Hopefully I can find it somewhere other than the 365 Days, 'cause I don't have that one. Yet, maybe. [g])
And man, I have got to get me some Koigu, definitely.
