Just wanted to take a minute to pass along to you how much I've enjoyed your Bead Ribbed Socks pattern. I'm just closing the toe on my first one. The pattern is so well written. NO errors which is something you don't see very often these days, and the directions for turning the heel were fabulously clear. You even include the number of stitches you're supposed to have left afterwards! (I've always thought all sock patterns should have this but apparently not every one agrees with me on this). Beautiful work.
