I finished my pink cabled socks.
don’t you love how they match my pajamas?
I started on Matt’s techguy socks with a few stumbling blocks…
First of all the pattern called for 24 stitches over 4 inches. To me this just seemed really loose with the Shepard’s Sock yarn. A lot looser than I’d like the weave on socks. I finally decided to go with a gauge of 36 stitches over 4 inches & just use the basic sock pattern from Ann Budd. I’ve also discovered with the Ann Budd pattern I prefer the socks that are an inch smaller than my measured foot circumference. I started Matt’s socks & the same thing had to rip it out to make the one an inch smaller.

The sock looks enormously long at the picture in your last post 😉
But they turned out very nice in the end! 🙂
Nice socks! Love how the cable goes down to the heel flap and instep!
pretty pretty pretty!

Ooh very nice! I like that pink – very soft but not too babyyarn looking 😮 Nice job!
