If I had these to knit over again, I wouldn't use this yarn with this pattern. I really do love the pattern & I'm thinking of making a pair of these for each of my grandsons for Christmas. I don't know if I'd use this yarn again though. I like it, I just don't love it. Yes, it's less expensive than other sock yarns that I love, but not by enough. I should also figure out how to do calf shaping for DH since he has skinny ankles, but muscular calves (although it doesn't look that way in the photo). I think for these, I may have to weave some elastic in the top ribbing. Has anyone else done this before?

Those are so cute! I can see what you mean about using self-patterning yarn with that kind of pattern. But they still look great.
Boy howdy - sounds like you like only the most serious sock yarn!!
I've never knit elastic into the top, but have considered it, and don't know why it wouldn't work.
I have come to the conclusion that it is IMPOSSIBLE to get Trekking yarn to make matching stripes. They still look great, though.
Hello and thanks for your comment on my blog. Great job on the socks - it's exciting to find my pattern knit up by someone else but me!!!
