What was your inspiration?

This pattern is from one of my favorite sock books, Knitting Vintage Socks by Nancy Bush. This book has a lot of great men's patterns that are fun to knit without being too "frou-frou". Most of them also feature shaping at the calf for a better fit.

What are you most proud of?

I am just proud to have finished them! I actually had tried and frogged a few different patterns with this yarn. Finally I had my boyfriend pick a pattern he liked and he picked this one.
