Good thing my husband and me almost have the same size in shoes (we use to share our socks already). A lovely cable pattern and the autumn glow colour way is simply gorgeous!
Rebekka on ravelry
I like the cables up the back and the way the heel looks.
Thanks for the giveaway. I love the light gray (silver) color.
These socks are so pretty, and the zigzagging cable looks like a string of bat wings if you look at it sideways.
Love the pattern. The cables are really unique

Love the sock pattern and the gray looks great. I am not a fan of gray as I like bright colours but this pattern looks good in the gray.
I happen to have a fondness for bats, so I really like this pattern! Thanks for the giveaway.

wonderful pattern! and the yarn is so beautiful! melindaparmer on ravelry
I love this pattern. The cable is very unique.
Great pattern and I love the greys! I'm helenlam on Rav
This sock pattern is really cool looking in my opinon, because it kinda sorta has cables in it but not in the traditional sense, plus the yarn you chose for the pattern shows off the uniqueness perfectly.

I am now following your blog.
I'm following you on Twitter, though I worry I'm following the wrong person since you don't tweet about knitting.
The classic colors with just enough hue variation to add interest are the perfect yarn to partner with this enchanting sock pattern.
On Twitter, I am now following both Sandrasingh as specified in this post and Sandrasinghcom as noted in your sidebar.
