This designer's first published pattern are the beautiful Dionysus Socks (photograph © Dan Jackson).
I don't think I can describe these beauties better than her quote here:
"Wild vines start at the cuff and wind down the leg to spill over the heel, paired with lush leaf panels that weave themselves together in a riot of lace to create a sock fit to wear to any party."
As is well established, I like me a good back story. Creatively named and imaginatively described knits show extra thought and effort the designer has put into her/his work.
And, I'm hard pressed to suggest any better flight of foot-covering whimsy than a vino-soaked loll-about with Greek gods and "riots" of lace.
Srsly. I think that's my favourite line.
Keep a look out for more of her work!

Those are absolutely gorgeous! Thanks so much for the heads-up!
Yay Abby!
Yep, that's just about the best knit-description I've ever read! The socks are pretty darn fab, too.
gorgeous socks (and a great photo, too)
Thanks for keeping up with these! You save me the trouble of searching through patterns at Ravelry myself. I have a habit of just taking a quick peek at the designers you mention and adding the patterns I like to my queue for later reference. Worked out perfectly when I was sitting in my office yesterday at work and realized that I was warm, but my hands felt like ice cubes. I made one fingerless mitt last night and have another to do today, and found the pattern through one of your recommended designers. :) So, thanks!
I love these socks, and the color is gorgeous.
