Nice easy knit without it being a plain vanilla sock. Perfect for knitting in public or in company as it is basically a 2×2 rib with an repeating eyelet row. It was a great knit for my I felt my brain dribbling out my ears during the move.

The yarn is a basic 4ply wool/nylon workhorse sock yarn. I wasn’t sure if the mix of colours would work with this sock, but it turned out great as the yarn is made up of short colour repeats which produce a mottled effect.

I’m sure I’ll get a lot of use out of these socks.
