    Couldn’t access the Groovy Sock Pattern mentioned by Kelly in the last podcast and linked to the pattern in Ravelry. Clicked on the free pattern link and it dead ended. Any ideas? It looks like a terrific pattern.

      Hi Cheri – it was working earlier but it looks like it has been taken down, we apologize. The only thing we suggest is sending a message to the designer. Sorry!
