The socks took 86 gms of the 100 gm ball of Patonyle, so close to the 400 yds Adrienne calls for in the pattern. Fred calculated 354 yds. I wear a US size 6 shoe to give you an idea of the size of my sock. I also decreased the heel/sole by 4 sts and used a 2.00mm below the ankle and a 2.25mm above. (Adrienne helped me customize the fit and I'm thrilled that they fit "like a glove".) This little gem of a pattern really improved my sock knitting and I know I will enjoy knitting more RRH socks for gifts. Some day I hope to teach Georgia Peach to knit socks and this pattern will be the ultimate goal.

Those are lovely. I really like the stitch definition and of course what a beautiful blue yarn. Nice Job. I will have to go look up Patonyle Yarn now.
Very nice job. Wow they look wonderful. I am knitting the same pattern and my do not look that good.
