Sock It Too 2016

I don't take many pictures of the socks I knit.  One, reason is that the ones for my husband are based on the same pattern,  Gentleman's Plain Winter Sock with Dutch Heel.

There was only one pair completed this year.  As you can see it is a basic pattern.  I do less ribbing for the cuff and more stockinette for the leg.  If you are wondering one skein of about 420 yards does a pair.

In review, it has been a slow year for socks.  Only two other pairs were finished.
 Above is the start to a pair of Moody's stockings which were completed in April.  The pattern doesn't show much until they are on.
And here are the Horcrux Socks made with the Opal Draco color way.  It seems fitting to walk on Malfroy Draco.   I didn't increase the leg length.  

Somehow, it seems fitting that I knit some socks based on Harry Potter this year.
