Socks in Shell Pattern

This pattern is from Nancy Bush's Knitting Vintage Socks. The yarn is Dream in Color Smooshy in Giant Peach; merino wool. The socks come up mid calf. They were much much quicker to knit up than Jeff's shooting stockings, probably because I had memorized the pattern and didn't have to keep refering to the book. And, my legs and feet are much smaller! They are a little itchy, but very cute.

Whoa, my legs look enormous in the picture. Its just the angle.
