Any Suggestions?I'm all ready to go on Thursday ( it's being March 1st ) for March's socks. I have a yarn a set aside, Patons Diploma Gold 4-ply in a lovely shade of green which was a wonderful surprise in the post from a lovely person a few weeks ago.
I have been asked to knit a pair of men's socks - size 10's - does anyone have a suggestion for a pattern? Nothing too complex, perhaps some cables or something - just for something different to tackle. |

How about the Father and son socks from http://www.interweave.com/knit/interweave_knits/preview/2006_fall.asp

Carola - thank you! They are lovely, and there are lots of other interesting patterns there too. Am off to search for a back copy!
ETA - have found, after much searching, a back copy of Interweave Fall at The Wool Baa and have thrown in for good measure the Winter copy as well. My recent subscription started with the Spring issue. I hadn't come across this site before - they deal in Mail Order not e-sales, but the lady I spoke to sounded very nice and friendly and helpful. |

ooh, I forgot about those ones, DH is after some more socks and size 10 mens are very boring after a while, a bit of patterning would be nice. |
