<div style="text-align: center;">
This is apparently my 12th <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Neuroknitter/toasty-twist-socks-12" target="_blank">Toasty Twist</a> sock.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This pattern rivals the Monkey sock in my book...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or should I say my Ravelry project page!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's as perfect a pattern as humanly possible to create.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So far every one of the 12 skeins of multi-colored yarn I've used has played well with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made one small modification ages ago, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and none other since then.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you haven't made Toasty Twist socks yet...do so.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't like change.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With this pattern</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
change isn't necessary.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love. It.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the yarn...a rare gem on the new <a href="http://www.bluemoonfiberarts.com/newmoon/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=182_1212" target="_blank">Tigger Targhee</a> base at BMFA.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Loving. It. Also.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's dubbed tigger for a reason - it bounces!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
p.s. did you notice the Grimm sighting?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
p.s.s. <a href="http://www.steppingstonecafe.com/" target="_blank">Stepping Stone cafe</a> was the backdrop for this photoshoot...yum!</div>

And the socks are finished!! Yay!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Neuroknitter/cotty-5" target="_blank">Cotty</a> socks by the lovely <a href="http://wedonothaveaknittingproblem.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Carrie aka IGK</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is one of my all time favorite patterns. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And it comes with its own picot edge...no mods necessary on that front!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The yarn is from <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/the-fiber-seed-sprout">Fiber Seed Sprout</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my first time using this yarn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is springy and wonderful. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have another pair of socks that are almost finished.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope it won't take me another month to finish and photograph them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fingers crossed!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
