The color is better in the first picture, but the detail is better in the second. The fun part about New England is that I can’t get good sunlight during the work week for pictures.

Pattern: Gentleman’s Sock with Lozenge Pattern from Nancy Bush’s Knitting Vintage Socks
Yarn: Less two skeins of Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock in Cranberry
Needles: US 1 Addi Turbos
Modifications: only knit two ribbing cuff repeats instead of four, shortened the leg (pattern is for a 10″ leg), 60 stitches around instead of 80
Date Started: September 3, 2006
Date Completed: September 26, 2006
Time: 10.5 hours for the first sock, 9.25 for the second for a total of 19.75 hours

These were great socks the second time (especially since they were smaller this time). Great knit for class – I barely needed to look at them while knitting.
