I love how quick these socks knit up. The yarn, from West Yorkshire Spinners, is new to me and it's lovely. It's a DK weight BFL and it's so soft.
This colourway is called "Owl" and I love the combination of neutral shades. The heels, toes and cuff ribbing are a different yarn (same company) and it has a little bit of nylon in it. It's not as soft, but it should be more hard wearing.
I've already started the second sock, and from the looks of it, I may be able to get both socks out of one ball. If so, I think I may be making myself a pair of these!

Yay for quicker socks that make great Father's Day gifts.
Well done! Don't you just love self-striping yarn.
I love those manly stripes!
I've been wondering how that yarn is to knit...can you get it locally? Love the colors. Perfect for Father's day!
Your sock is really great. You are way ahead for fathers day. I better get going. Since my father and I are speaking again, I will send him a little something. Mostly I'll focus on Fireman cause he's a great dad.
