Thanks! They are the pine cone tops from Gainford, like the white pair in the cover photo. I just recently put up a couple of pictures, but I need to get a decent picture of them on me.

That is my second-ever pair of socks, with a simple rib below. I will do the tops again in wool, maybe with a cable or lace on the sides. OR maybe a rustic pair & save the ambition for later. I'm still an apprentice here...

You did a great job for only your second pair!! I really like a good many of the patterns in Gainford's book and want to try them out-even the "plain" ones are very nice. These are a good mix for the two patterns.

I just got my two socks at a time book this past week, so once this pair is done and I've finished another knitting project that's pending, I'm learning that technique! I can't imagine how much time that will cut off of kilt hose knitting! I wonder if that means I have to add more kilt hose to the "to do" list?

Absolutely!
