These are the Rhiannon sock pattern from Cookie A.'s website. I knit them in cream for kilt hose for my other obsession, er, hobby, piping. I used Jawoll sock yarn which
handily comes with a little spool of matching reinforcing thread in every ball. This was my first pair of socks that I've ever knit, discounting a quickie set of elf booties for my son's Christmas play last year.
The pattern has two awkward rows that take up to an hour to do because you're purling TBL through 4 stitches then purling them again on the front. With tiny little needles. Save up your curse words for those rows, you'll need them! Also, I started the cuff 3 different times because it ended up enormous and eventually threw the tape measure in the trash and made the smallest size cuff and the medium-ish size calf and ankle. The cuff is still a little big, but I'll be wearing flashes (like sock garters) with them, anyway.
