I am not a knitter..but these are soooo pretty. I like the granny square addition to the top…
Those socks make me want to learn to knit & crochet immediately! But I’ve sworn off taking up any more creative hobbies. I don’t need to add yarn to the mounds of fabric and other stuff. Nice work though!
Very, very lovely. Socks are the new black.
Misocrafty has some great links on her blog as well:

these are lovely, something I’ll have to try this!
I knit and crochet. Lately I have been “looking” for projects to combine them. These socks are perfect!
What lovely colours and such a great idea to use crochet like this!
These are great. Now that my wife and I are retired in France, we have more time for hobbies. I always thought knitting and crocheting was boring but these convince me otherwise. I likely haven’t got the patience, but maybe if I show these to my wife I can pursuade her.
Hello!
Ok, you’ve inspired me to take up knitting again! I’d love to make the Interweave socks you have pictured, but I can’t seem to find the pattern at that link.
