The pattern can be found on the Socktopia.net site. It is indeed "Move your Fanny" by Gigi Silva. The yarn is a very soft superwash merino called "HotSox" that I received from my Sockret pal several months ago. This was just the perfect pattern for this yarn - a very cheery summertime anklet. The pattern calls for a shortrow heel and toe, but utilizes a technique that is new to me. It was very simple, yet created a very nice shape, with no hint of the dreaded holes so often found in shortrow heels. I really like the results! It also has a 3 inch section of the foot - the arch area - that is done in ribbing. It obscures the stripes a bit, but the feel is very nice on the foot.
I did make one modification. The pattern called for a 10 row leg section, which I omitted. I wanted them very short, with only a ribbing before the ankle/heel section. Once again - I am happy!!
Hope everyone has a nice 4th of July -- and a safe one! Enjoy....
