Pattern:
Wendy's Generic Toe-Up with feather-and-fan pattern on the ankle Yarn: Schaeffer
"Anne" Method: Handknit Completed: February
18,
2007.
The Schaeffer "Anne" was very nice to work with, and, as it's a little
lighter than the Koigu or similar yarns, it made a slightly more
refined sock. Where my Koigu KPPPM socks do well in
sneakers or light trail shoes, these are light (and refined) enough to
work well in leather lace ups.
I made the ankles about an inch too short for my liking, as it turns
out -- not a fault of the pattern or the yarn, but execution
error.

pattern on the ankles.
Schaeffer "Anne", in
skein. I used roughly half a skein; could probably make 2 pairs
of socks (for size women's size 6 - 7 foot).
Note the light "fuzz" from the mohair.

Guinness, the beer) and the yarn...
Guiness (the cat) and the
socks... the similarity in coloration inspired the naming of the socks.
