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:

Opal Rainforest Owl 6ply
Opal Rainforest Owl 6ply


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

socks two at once
Start of owl walking socks


The pattern is simple but looks quite effective:

Broad Spiral Ribbing pattern

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

Those look so nice. I made the same pattern with some stripy yarn I had a while ago, and it worked out very well. I like that light, earthy colorway too.
