I'm on the second sock of each of these.
This one's a pattern called P Sherman and has a big cable down the middle and a little one on each side. The yarn's a discontinued kind called Sockotta that's 45% cotton and 55% wool. Do not like. I've got two balls of it in another colorway. I'm going to use it on my knitter's loom.
This one's called Dragonfly. The yarn (both of them) are A Day in Stars Hollow. The sock is partly an experiment in wide leg/normal foot. I think the foot is still a tad too big. I can imagine the yarn knitted up in a long skinny scarf with the solid color in a fringe on each end. Lorelai might wear that.
This one is Boddam, with little cables and a zig zag pattern in purl stitches down the front. The yarn's from Gnarled Paw and is called Wooly-Paca. It's really nice. Gnarled Paw is having a sale that ends at midnight US Eastern time when April 20 turns over into April 21. Go to Etsy and check it out. I liked the yarn so much I went off my yarn diet by a couple of skeins. None of the Wooly-Paca was on sale (at least in a colorway I liked) but I found some that I did like.
Sorry about the pictures. Camera and I are at war again.
