Rib & Cable Socks

Pattern: Rib and Cable Socks by Nancy Bush from the Fall '05 Interweave Knits

Yarn: Silja (80% superwash wool, 20% nylon), 2 skeins

Needles: US 1/2.25mm double points

Info: I followed the pattern exactly. Though the yarn called for 3-3.5mm, I did not like the way the yarn was so loose and airy with the larger needles. The needles I used made a much more dense fabric, though not as stretchy as I initially thought that it would be. If I were to use this yarn again I would use US 2/2.75mm. I didn't have any and I got the correct gauge using the US 1/2.25mm. I have to say that I did enjoy making these.
