Years ago, I bought a set of sock patterns by Beth Brown Reinsel. The patterning is based on traditional Scandinavian sweaters. I love the patterns and have knit a few. Here is the original Lusekofte Sock.
However, my laziness with some of the specific details has overtaken me (Beth used some very nice and interesting construction specifics). So with this pair, I just let the patterning fly over my vanilla sock pattern which is in my head. The yarn is a washable wool that I dyed at my very first indigo dyeing experience in a class taught by Tamara, whose website is here. The white yarn is from one of my bunnies, who no longer live with me. I originally tried reversing the colors, but it was just too much soft fuzz! These are plenty fuzzy.
No, this is not a "snowflake" pattern. "Luse" refers to lice, and I believe that "kofte" is a type of jacket.
