Absinthe Sock Pattern

I found this sock pattern and was immediately caught up in the beauty and intricacy of the design. If you are up for a challenge of a pattern that is a change from the ordinary and something that you can totally lose yourself in then this sock pattern is it.

Definitely for the more skilled knitter but give it a try if you are a bit past the beginner stage. You might just surprise yourself with the results.
