Purple French Socks
It seems like these took a long time, but I did set them aside for a couple of weeks. The pattern is called Child's French Sock from Nancy Bush's book Knitting Vintage Socks. I used Knit Picks Essential in African Violet that's been hanging out in my stash for 2 years.

Thanks for looking.

Good name for the color. I've seen African violets that shade. Very nice socks.

Ooh-la-la your socks are divine! I am in love with them! I also looked at the pictures you posted on ravelry. You really did a great job with them.
