The Sock Report: pics of other, less complex socks

[treeskin]

Timber Frame socks, pattern from when Knitnet was still a free site. Woolease Sport, #2, forgot the gauge. Big difference between the gauge on the two-color section, and the single-color parts. Have to work on that. Still comfy though.




Spiral Rib Tube socks, various sock yarns, #2 needles, I think it's 6-7 sts/in. The middle yarn on these is one I'd dyed with Wilton icing dyes. It ought to be much more green than the pic shows. These are 8 months old, and the hand-dyed yarn still bleeds.




Aran Sandal Socks from the XRX Socks Socks Socks book. Some hand-me-down 100% wool sock yarn, #2 needles, forgot the gauge. Once I got into the rhythm of the cables, these went quickly.



Same sock, trying to show how the nifty medallion cable marches up the sock.




My Xmas socks, made with Mountain Colors "Bearfoot" yarn (60% superwash merino wool, %25% mohair, 15% nylon), #2 needles, 6.5 sts/in. Pattern is another from when Knitnet was a free site, although I redid the heel, because the original short-row heel just didn't fit well. I also added the cables up the back of the heel, 'cuz I wear these with clogs, and it looks nifty.


The Xmas socks I made for Byron, same yanr and needles. I used the "Generic Toe-Up Socks" pattern that can be found here, and added a cable for fun.
