Not quite sure about this sock

This is my contribution to October's sockdown for Sock Knitters' Anonymous.

10 10 02 River yarn and pattern

The category is under appreciated patterns - patterns where there are fifteen or fewer projects listed on Ravelry. I'm #6, which I found surprizing, considering this was the sock of the month for February 2009.

The yarn is Malabrigo in Impressionist Sky. This is the first time for me knitting with Malabrigo Sock - so far it's very soft, quite fine and slippery. I've gone down two needle sizes in the sock because I don't think I'll get a 72 stitch sock to fit using 2.75 mm needles.

The start is the cuff - knit sideways and then picked up for the leg.
