Kay, you started these in September! They inspired me to become a Patreon so I could learn to knit socks with your tutorial and participate in Sockoween. All so I would be prepared by March 1st (my b-day) for these stunning POP socks! I’m definitely choosing pink and orange for the first pair. Can’t wait! Cheers!

Love how you came to name these socks, they are so beautiful. Can't wait to knit these.
