These ones are almost exactly like the other pair, except they are an inch longer in the leg because I didn't take my measuring tape with me. But that helps me decide who will get which pair - these ones will go to the taller of the two!
The yarn is Drops Big Fabel, sadly now discontinued. It's a nice, hard-wearing worsted sock yarn (has nylon for extra strength). Dad's got a couple pairs that are a couple of years old and are still going strong.
Just like the previous pair, I started both ball from the centre. And just like the previous pair, the stripe sequence was reversed on the second ball.
But they are done and I couldn't be happier! It's time to get back to some Wandering Cat yarn, and another pair of On the GO socks!

They are so pretty! Good for you for getting them done, especially since they were seeming to be a slog for you. :-)
Whoooo hooooo! I know that has to feel good. Man socks are such a slog.
The socks look great and you did it by the end of Nov-hooray!
What is the next 'stop' on this series of socks?
Love these...too bad the yarn is discontinued. Another quick finish!!
They are great socks. Staying up past your bedtime is simply a benefit of youth! We are like logs after 10 pm around here! Then when we get INTO bed sometimes we cant fall asleep! TMI? Well just know I love your yarns and your sock finsih
I love the quilts! And the kitties, and the socks! You are getting it done.
Fabulous! That was fast. Can't wait for the Wandering Cat Socks!
Good for you and they look great too. I knew you could do it!
Well done! The socks look fabulous, and until you mentioned the stripe sequence, I hadn't noticed.
