warm feet weekend

Jacob's camo socks are finished, and already keeping his feet warm and cozy. 

fancy socks - closeup

The pattern:  Gentleman's Fancy Sock, from Knitting Vintage Socks by Nancy Bush.  I omitted the decreases down the leg and shortened the cuff a bit to fit Jacob's feet without running out of yarn.  The camo yarn (Lorna's Laces Shepard Sock) looks great in the stitch - mottled and rich.  The needles got no rest before I cast on another pair.  Gotta keep the socks flowing!

You cast on <i>another</i> pair? What?!?! Are you going for martyrdom? Can you keep this up <i>after</i> marriage?

(They do look great, though!)

Wow, lucky boyfriend! Those socks are gorgeous. I do love Lorna's Laces. They hold up quite well and the colors are gorgeous :) I like the pattern too. That Nancy Bush is some kind of sock genius!
