It's a cable, Mabel

Behold my completed Rib and Cable socks (Nancy Bush, IK Fall 2005). I didn't share any WIP pictures because these were a gift. These socks were pretty darn fun to knit, but I had the darndest time figuring out when to turn each cable, However, it's hard to tell if one cable is a row longer or shorter than it's supposed to be (at least that's what I'm telling myself). The yarn is Kool-aid dyed Knitpicks fingering weight merino.
This socks taught me a new toe technique - I'm not sure how comfortable these will be compared to the typical double decrease toes, but I'll follow up with the recipient to see how they fare in the wild. She does live in New York, and I've heard that wool socks are just the thing for a New York summer.
