Broad Spiral Ribbing Socks

The Owl socks for my MIL's 60th birthday are finished:


Broad Spiral Ribbing socks

Pattern: Broad Spiral Ribbing from More Sensational Knitted Socks
Yarn: Opal Rainforest 6 ply in Owl.
Needles: 2 x 2.75mm 60 cm circulars.
Method: Knitted cuff down two at a time.
Details: 8 stitches per inch for a 9" wide foot so I cast on 72 stitches. An 'Eye of Partridge Heel' for a very durable heel as they were a present for my MIL who is a keen walker.

Owl walking socks

It is my MIL's 60th birthday on the 24th & she's a keen walker so I've cast on a pair for her using this from my stash continuing with my socks from stash pledge & the bedsocks for myself are on hold:

They're are progressing nicely & this morning looked like this:

The pattern is simple but looks quite effective:

I searched for a pattern that wouldn't clash with the stripes & think I've found it.
