I just finished these this morning!
It's the first time I've ever done a dropped stitch pattern and I'm very pleased with the socks. I only dropped the wrong stitch once (luckily, I noticed before it had unravelled too far & rescued it!)
The yarn is Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock and the colour is Georgetown. It's a mixture of pastel greens, blues, turquoise and lilac - really pretty.
The colours are more realistic in the top picture, but the bottom picture shows the pattern really well.
I used 2.5 mm needles for the cuff & 2.25 mm for the leg & foot to get the correct gauge. I did 4 pattern repeats on the leg and 4.5 pattern repeats on the foot for a UK size 6.5.
Thanks for another gorgeous pattern.

Your socks are gorgeous! Love the colors.
Great socks - so quick too!
Absolutely gorgeous yarn and a terrific job knitting them. I will have to keep the needle "down size" in mind when I work on mine (great tip).
beautiful. I guess I need to get working if I am going to get mine done by the end of the month
The colors you choosed really shows the pattern. Beautiful socks!
Your socks are beautiful. Thanks for posting the up close picture of the pattern. I was wondering if my socks look the way they're supposed to look.
Very cute! Love the color you used. : )
