I came up with an idea for Angel's socks! Here's the "rough draft" swatch. I've edited the design a bit since making it...
In case you can't tell, it's a hibiscus. The yarn I bought for her socks is a green and brown colorway called "Aloha Multi", so that was the inspiration. I just might call them "Aloha Socks". The editing involved shortening the top and bottom petals, and widening the other three, and shortening the...stamen(?)...and once I had it how I liked it, making a mirror-image to go with it. It's a very long chart; 84 rows. But Angel loves it, so it's a winner! In fact, I like it pretty well myself, so I'm considering making an adult size in the pattern as well. All I would have to do is add stitches on the sides.

I sent off the design proposal for Kitty's "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" Socks yesterday, so now I'm waiting to hear about two proposals. ☺
