Help! Desperately Seeking Wild Sock Pattern!

[Jo at Celtic Memory]

OK, so I know this really isn't much to go on. But if you guys can't help, no-one can.

I saw a really wild pair of crochet socks on the Net SOMEWHERE a month or so ago. I thought I'd saved the page, but can't find it now. Isn't it always the way?

They were made in a wide variety of different coloured and textured yarns, were knee high, and displayed quite a few different patternings and stitches. I seem to remember even some circles incorporated. These were seriously off-the-wall socks, not standard issue at all. Definitely weird and utterly irresistible.

Any help or advice gratefully received!

Thanks, gang.

Can you maybe look in your history or has it been too long?
You're sure they were crochet?
Was it a pattern or just a pair someone had made?
Was it on a blog or a board?

This is all I could find when I looked.

Sounds like freeform socks! I just spent a few minutes googling freeform crochet sock patterns without much luck. Can you remember if you were they were at a blog? At an art gallery website? Phase of the moon? :D

It makes me crazy when I can't find things I saw before. Good luck!

They were definitely crochet, and it was a free pattern someone had posted. I would have thought I got to it by Googling sock patterns, but so far it isn't working a second time round. Isn't it weird how you find things one time and the next, although you think you're going in exactly the same direction, you can't find the same things? On the upside, you usually find lots of other unusual things though!

Still hunting...

I was buying yarn at Elann.com today and noticed a Patons pattern for crocheted items in some bright colours that included some slouch socks. I am not sure if that helps you at all. :think I had searched the pattern section for crochet and it was one of the pattern booklets listed.

Jo, I was in Barnes & Noble bookstore last night looking at the new Vogue Knitting book (25 Years of Vogue Knitting, I believe). In it was an article about Kristin Nicholas and it had a picture of knee high socks, colorful with lots of different stitches and flowers (knitted or crocheted) on them. I thought of you. Maybe this will help your search! If you find this pattern, please, for the love of socks, share the link with us!

I'm ducking back in quickly before I head to work. Look on this page, are those the socks????

Probably not, though, because they are knit.

Pretty neat, though....

If you find this pattern, please, for the love of socks, share the link with us!:rofl :rofl
This search has proven to be VERY DIFFICULT! I have been searching off and on for 3 days now with no luck! Still I have seen hundreds of incredibly beautiful freeform crochet pieces........sort of makes me want to try my hand at it! But, I have to agree with Twinnish.....if you ever find it, let us know please......this has turned into a sort of Quest for "The Holy Grail" for me, I WANT to see these socks for myself!:yes :yes
