There are few things in life that can make your day like seeing someone actually knit your sock patterns and post a photos of the socks on Ravelry. Monika, from Smoking Hot Needles posted her beautiful version of the Hopper Sock on Ravelry and on her blog. I couldn't be happier. Thank you so very much, you really made my day. :)
