Here they are just after blocking.
I could have avoided this if I'd paid closer attention to the number of yards in the skein I substituted for the Schaefer Yarn that Nancy used. Schaefer Anne has 560 yards (which is more than enough for even heavily cabled socks) and the yarn I used had just 385 yards. I should know by now that I need at least 400 yards for the longish legs that I like and big feet that I have.

I like the cinnamony-red color you chose. The toe looks fine. It just looks like its a varigated yarn and its a bit lighter on the toe. You have probably mentioned it before, but what size shoe do you wear. I am just asking because you say you have big feet and I have someone I am close to who wants socks. She wears a size 10.
I wear a 9.5 shoe.
And my feet are on the wide size--I come from good German farm stock.
Lovely, Ann! I'm getting this book for Christmas and am very excited about it! I don't think there has been a Nancy Bush pattern I haven't liked!
I'm totally bummed that you ran out of yarn.
Gorgeous socks though!
The socks look fabulous, toes and all! I would say that's just a special technique, a design feature. Run with it!
