Turandot The Ice Princess. 

 
Turandot 
  $36.00 - Women's Medium
 $40.00 - Women's Large (size 10 or better)
includes extra yarn & beads to accommodate
Turandot Composite
Complete with Riddles, Imperial Dragons and the Double-Happiness Ideograph for a Happy Ending.  "Turandot" is inspired by the Puccini opera, which in turn is based on the play by Carlo Gozzi, which in turn is based on an old Chinese legend, which in turn has common roots with every three-riddles-to-win-the-princess fairy tale or myth you ever read.

The sock is worked toe-up from a Turkish cast-on, and features a short-row heel with a tiny pseudo-gusset for extra ease at the heel angle. 

The main yarn is Bamboo-Ewe, a non-superwash blend of merino, bamboo, and nylon at our normal 8spi gauge on size 1 needles.
