This pair did end up sidelined for the previous pairs which were commissions and were generally a simpler sock to knit than some of the heavily cabled ones.
Not my favourite pair and they have come out pretty ugly looking.
The pattern is rather lacy and I think the main issue is the needle size is too big.
The yarn used is another Laughing yaffle one, colour way is Cranberry crush.
I will be knitting these again at some point, when I've done some other ones and next time will use a 2.5mm needle to see if it looks any better.
I washed the socks and the pattern tightened up and looks so much better as shown in the 2nd photograph
A bonus is, this pair marks 1/5th of the way to my target of 100 pairs of socks:-)
