I feel a near uncontrollable urge to knit a pair for Sara...
Excellent! I've been trying to decide on my next sock to knit up...Thanks for making my decision!
I was looking at some of my yarn earlier and lamenting that I couldn't find a pattern to fit it, and then snakes on a sock comes along and my problems are solved! Great pattern, thanks!
Ok, the pattern looks like a blast to knit, but the tags? the tags? yeah. they rock my world.
Thank you SO much!
Yeah fun! I just ordered some yarn from spunky hats...hmmm I'll have to try out your pattern!
Thanks!!!!!
And given that I have the perfect yarn for this I'm so going to cast these on! Even though I need another project like I need a hole in the head.
Awesome! Congrats on your first official pattern! :)

may i just sneak in here to offer my compliments on both this rockin' sock pattern and your fab podcast? i am a newish listener and i absolutely love it. one afternoon i was listening to you two and my mother called me. she could hear my iPod in the background and asked if i was having a party. well, sort of!
I started this pattern this morning and am stumped on the third repeat. Why are there 2 N4s for round 2 ,Repeat #3? I'm confused, help! Thanks, -Maya
Sorry about that typo. I never caught it and no one has ever mentioned it before now.
Take out the 2nd N4 in round 2 of repeat 3. So, in repeat #3, round 2 should look like this:
(N1): k5, P2, K9
(N2): K9, P2, K5
(N3): K5, P2, K9
(N4): K9, P2, K5
Next question: How many stitches should there be after Repeat #3, round 2? 16? I'm asking because I end up with 2 extra stitches at the end of round 1, Repeat #4. The pattern looks fabulous so far with the l&v lisa souza yarn!
You are correct. You will have 16 stitches on each needle at the point.
The overall pattern for each repeat in the leg goes like this: you will start out with 14 stitches on each needle. In round 1, you increase 2 stitches per needle so you end up with 16 stitches on each needle at the end of round 1. In rounds 2 and 3, you will keep 16 stitches on each needle. In round 4, you will decrease 2 stitches per needle so that you will go back to having 14 stitches on each needle at the end of round 4.
This is the repeated pattern of increases and decreases in stitches throughout the leg repeats.
I apologize for my dense questions. Just one more... Where are rounds 3 and 4 for Repeat number 3? Repeat number 3 has only rounds 1 and 2. Thankyou so much for your patience! -Maya
Maya-I am SO sorry about this! This is definitely not your fault so please don't apologize.
Here is the missing part of Repeat #3:
Round 3: Repeat round 2
Round 4:
(N1) K2, P2, (Sl2,k1,psso), K9
(N2) K9, (Sl2,k1,psso), P2, K2
(N3) K2, P2, (Sl2,k1,psso), K9
(N4) K9, (Sl2,k1,psso), P2, K2
I will check the rest of the pattern to see if there are any other missing pieces, and again, I am really sorry about this!
Are all of the M1's a knit in the front & back or did you use another M1?
Courtney,
Yep, the M1s are a knit in front and back of same stitch. Sorry I didn't specify. First pattern and all...I just wasn't thinking about it at the time.
Let me know if you have any other questions. You can always email me directly at lime@limenviolet.com too. :)
Happy knitting!
Miss Lime
