So simple to do.
Love that cuff detail.
Don't you love them too?
Socks are knit from Grumperina's pattern in IK Spring 2007, with 100g sock yarn (color 012) from Sundara. No modifications. I started them on Brittany dpns, but found the points too blunt to do the p2togs, so switched to sharper pointed dpns. Simple socks with lovely details, just the kind I pull out of the sock drawer time and time again. And because I'm on a sock roll, I started this pair:
Gentleman's fancy socks, from Nancy Bush's Knitting Vintage Socks, for a gentleman (of course!).





Gentleman's fancy socks are wonderful to knit. lovely yarn. what is it?

Love the deep red colour of the socks and your photo is a clearer picture of the socks than in the mag.

Beautiful socks! I love the dark red color and they just look so comfy! What yarn are you knitting the gentlemen's fancy socks in? I really like the subtle color shifts...

Oh, you have finished the Roza' sock in red, it is nice. It seems that you are really fond of knitting the sock.

When I recieved IK, I thought the socks were a bit too plain. But after seeing yours... ooooh. They are not plain at all!

The socks look great - too bad I am winding down my sock knitting for our upcoming move to the tropics.
