Pennies for Your Thoughts
Who wants one penny when you can have many pennies! This designer wants to know what goes on in the heads of knitters, and has pennies to spare with this sock design. Will you find the cable pattern easy and calming? Will you watch in enjoyment and awe as the pattern helps accentuate and pop your de-lightful choice in yarn? Are you imagining homemade s’mores while the wind whistles and snow blasts the windows from the outside? How about the giftee for whom you are knitting these socks? As knitters, especially during this win-tery time of year, anything and everything flitters and floats through the head whilst knitting away.
Pennies galore, sporting these socks up and down – and spending them willy-nilly to find out what is going on in your knitter’s head. So I ask, Pennies for Your Thoughts?

PATTERN NOTES
Each leg has its own cable pattern meant be symmetrical to its sock counter-part. Instructions are included for cabling each leg. The knitter may opt to use the same cable pattern for each sock to end up with an exact match.
Special note: These continuous cables are lovely, and offer a solid material. With that in mind, note they do not have a lot of give. You might consider go-ing up a needle size or two for the leg if you need a little extra space.
