More Sock Knitting

My husband is fond of cycling, and when I saw Lucy Neatby's biking socks, I wanted to make them for him. When I started working on them, though, I decided I'd rather make them toe-up, and I wanted to do them on two circular needles at the same time. So that's what I did. I changed her pattern slightly in that I made the heels, toes and ribbing at the top out of a solid color. I thought it worked better with these socks. I chose to put the little eagle on the top of the foot. I probably got it a little too far down, but it looks nice when his shoes are off. Here's you can see one from the front of the foot and the other is from the heel side.

You'll notice that I didn't continue the chain links up the sides of the top of the sock between the two cyclist charts. I found that this worked better for me. I used the eye of partridge stitch on the heel. John likes these socks very much. They are thicker and warmer than his other socks. They are made of 100% wool, and I used #2 needles on them. This was a fun pattern.
