The first of husby's second pair of socks. I probably should have used a pattern with a bit of ankle shaping but he's not too fussy and will wear them with jeans anyway, so it's not like he needs a close-fitting sock. I also probably should have used the same type of wool for the red bits but I used what I had in the stash. I'm not too good with the colour changes - I've tried to do it the way various sock knitting guides say to but it's not quite there. Don't really care - the joy of a hand-knitted sock is enough to get over the minor points like colour change jogs!

One sock down, one to go
