A basic, toe-up sock pattern with a front cable. For some reason, it seems to be cable season here at the moment. I guess it's because winter is coming, and cables are more "wintery" than for example lace. I just had to name these "Legolas Socks", since they really remind me of Lord of the Rings. Can't you just imagine Legolas prancing around in these?! :)
And you just have to admire the stitch definition of Noro Kureyon in cables on 3 mm needles!
Wowza! I haven't knitted cables with Noro before, and I've always knitted on larger needles, so the out-of-this-world stitch definition was a pleasant surprise for me. On the other hand, the numb fingers and aching hands were less pleasant. It's hard work knitting Noro Kureyon this tightly! I still have one more sock to go...

Excellent! Indeed wonderful definition. I just did a purse with this yarn, but on #6 US needles. Can't imagine how tight it was on those smaller ones. Ouch!
SO beautiful!
Jo, jag föreställer mig Legolas i ullsockor just nu ... Very hot :) Verkligen snygg "kabel"! (man blir så försvengelskad när man är ute på nätet för mycket).
I saw your socks on Ravelry and came over to visit - You have some beautiful knitting going on over here!!
Hi! You seem to be in a cable mood - good thing you do them so well! I loved scrolling through your many projects. I really came over to check up on the International KAL; I don't recall an e-mail telling me who I will be sending to. I think I must be close to receiving the dear little thing, so I thought I would get in touch. In case you can't extract my e-mail from the blogosphere, it is:
karen dot KVL at verizon dot net (replace words with punctuation, of course).
Those are going to be some seriously warm socks!
I love knits in tight gauges but yeah the hand cramp can really take the fun out of it.
Great combo!
i saw your socks on ravelry, too. absolutely beautiful. any chance you'll be sharing the pattern? :)
