I omitted the cable and garter rib from the leg of the socks from the Nadia Severns Hiking Socks from the small VK Socks book (the first one). I used size 5 dpns throughout (rather than changing needle sizes more often as the directions request) and used four colors of Country Garden DK. Here's a better shot of the pattern on the top of the foot.
I'm hoping that I can start and finish a pair of colorwork knee socks in worsted weight to show you late tomorrow. We'll see...
