Val's Cable Sock

Val purchased a knitting book for me all about cables and she stated that she would like to have a pair of cable socks - Saxony.

Most of the sock yarn that I have is variegated so that would not work with a cabled sock.  I came home and dug around through the deep stash and found some knit picks sock yarn in a solid color.

I re-engineered the sock to be a toe up and used the star toe and the heel flap before knitting the cable pattern up the front of the sock with a moss stitch on the back.  I finished with a 2x2 ribbing for the cuff.
The pattern called for 5 repeats of the cable pattern, but I thought the sock was long enough with 4 repeats.

These will go with me the next time I hit Colorado.
