Ah! Such a beautiful, beautiful pattern! But those boots in the very last picture…I’ve never seen boots so lovely!

Late comment, but I think the symbol is a common printer’s ornament/dingbat.

Scroll down or search for “left right white arrow”:

There are a lot of variations on this shape, but that one in particular looks pretty close to the one on the socks.

I think yhis pattern was taken from a Dover clip art book, and then simplified. There are a bunch of designs similar to the one above. Mostly from India.

yes, it does indeed resemble a fleur de lis, but the closest I was able to find that actually looked more like this pattern was from the ancient city of Petra, I was just hoping someone out there knew something more about it…

OMG! I’m gone for a few days and you get the most wonderful new socks!!! =D

I might be able to come visit at least sometime this Dec., as a friend of mine visits Portland annually during that time, and he demanded I visit him then. But, the new housemates have friends in Portland and seem likely to desire visits with them soon, so…maybe sooner!

yes, all the cotton styles are pretty much exactly like the solids, but the patterns like to linger closer to just over the knees than actual thigh high-ness.
Okay, all done for now, next week, among other things are two last Cronert items, a stripey polka dotted OTK and some ribbed arm/leg warmers…
Happy Weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ooooh OOOOH!…
The Curly Cronerts are gorgeous!!!!! Unusual yet dressy, THOSE will generate comments and looks alright.
Say, are those as thick and as long as their regular solid OTKs? I’m affraid SoCal can’t support anything thicker…

I’m in love with the new curly flowers. They’re actually basically just a stylized fluer de lis…just a long stem on them.

I’m so excited. I need to control my breaths now. Whew. I will have the Cronert “Stylized Flower”. Must control my urges at the moment though. I hope to not wait to long and miss out like I did on the Ozone tights.
