I have finished the first Spey Valley sock, which I'm pretty happy with - minimal pooling around the gusset area, unlike my experience with the Jaywalkers!
I used 2.25mm sticks for these, one size down from my usual 2.5mm sticks - love how the socks feel, so soft and smooshy! And I've even cast on the second sock, no SSS on these ones - I'm hoping to have these finished for husby's birthday in early October.*********************
And just for Catsmum, more new niece details:
Hannah Elise, born last Monday 3 September, weighing 8lb exactly! Probably not going to be a redhead like her older brother!

Lookie! I'm first (cuz it's all about me...)! I love the cool camo-socks! And I'm sure he will, too! And I love the signature red toe.
looks like you'll have a happy birthday guy on your hands!
the beau is getting so close.
H is a very lucky man. I have had a request for a jersey from my H but it is to scary to contemplate yet. Might start off with a scarf or just finish EEs cardi.
all looking great RR. Beau isn't too far away now!
Definitely minimal pooling on the gusset, but it does change a little bit around there, doesn't it? Not too obviously though.
Love the socks - love Beaus - you busy little twinkle,you!
What awesome socks! I confess, I still think they're a little magical, and that knitting them is sort of like a cult (one i'm hoping to join soon...). The red toe looks nifty set against the camo, was it hard to switch yarns (bear with me, i'm a knitting newbie)?
Beau is looking great!! I like the brownness. Love the Jaywalker, especially the red toe!!!
Nice socks, I feel the sock urge coming on!
fabulous especially the toe - and thanks for the extra baby details. I hereby reinstate your aunty points.
Love the socks & the colors are gorgeous especially the red toe!
Beau is looking good! And I like the Rose Red touch on the sock's toe! :)
I hope you get lots of knitting time this weekend...Beau looks great from here.
The sock is so cool, with that red toe action.
