Simple (but colorful) socks
Probably the last pair of Christmas socks for this year. This yarn is the "Phoenix" colorway from Twisted Fiber Arts - it was a fundraiser after their studio burned. I basically made the pattern up as I went along using a simple plait cable and eye-of-partridge heel flap - I started a different pattern that involved eyelets at the color transition, but they weren't clear or even enough and I didn't like how it was going. (I'll have to use that pattern on a striped yarn with less shaded transitions.)
I like the color continuation on the heel flap, but I don't like the jump along the top of the foot; I guess that means I should have used a short row heel instead
