![I have a new sock design which will be published next month. Right now, I am still looking for a couple of testers. So if you are interested in test knitting this pattern, please let me know (rosemaryandpinesfiberarts[at]gmail.com). The sample is knitted using my own yarn in the Luster Sock DK base.

But of course you can also test knit using another DK weight sock yarn (or even a different weight yarn).
