My Patreon will launch in 1 week! I took all the results of the poll and I have hopefully created fun and appealing tiers. About my Patreon: I'm trying something new for the next 6-7 months. If it works, I'll continue, but if I end up not liking it, I'll stop it in September or October. I will be starting a monthly subscription membership on a new Patreon account. I will be posting the chapters of my current book ( Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7 ) so you can read ahead of when the ebook will be edited and published. My current plan is to post 1-2 chapters weekly. One reason I’m switching things up is that I want to get closer to my readers and build a tighter, more intimate community with you. You can comment on each chapter of my book, give a reaction, ask a question, or even correct mistakes. My books will become a dialogue with you. If you subscribe to my Patreon, you'll be charged monthly and have access to all the benefits for the tier you subscribe to. The

Update: I also wrote out the pattern for a pair of tabi socks, or split-toe socks.
I can't help bragging a little. I just finished my first pair of toe socks (I have an unfinished pair of toe socks somewhere, but this is my first completed pair).
These are a belated (VERY belated) graduation present for one of my high school girls in the church youth group. She wanted toe socks in Slytherin colors.
I had a time finding superwash sock yarn in green and silver, and you can tell these are very different types of yarn (one is merino superwash, the other is a wool/elastic blend). But they knit up at the same gauge (almost) and look quite nice, if I say so myself.
They look a little creepy (almost like freaky alien hands). You can see the bump from the heel on the right sock.
I usedMichelle Cho's toe sock pattern Update: The previous link was taken down, but here's another that's actually a bit better: Unicornbooks.com toe socks pattern almost exactly (update: I forgot to mention that I knitted these top down rather than toe up the way Michelle did, but that's only because I personally dislike the way the heels look on toe up socks. Instead of decreasing at the base of the toes, I increased with M1 stitches. I put the stitches on a holder and knitted only a few stitches at a time for each toe. I knit the toes like she did.)--adjusting for a slight difference in gauge and wool elasticity.
Haha, let's hope they fit!

i am not a knitter and to have toes would make it hard i would think
I'm also a bit jealous of your knitting abilities. I have no idea how to knit.

if i should know my excuse is im an aussie!
Anyway, you are awesome. I bet she loves them--and AusJenny--if I'm not mistaken Slytherin refers to a house in Harry Potter and these are the colors of that house (at the school.) Am I right? Do I win?? (ha)
