Yet Another Pair of Cabled Socks are Complete

The good news is, these are done. The bad news is, they're still pink.

I'm really pleased with they way they turned out, except for the pinkness. The cables are 3 stitches (a knit, a purl and a knit) and are separated by 3 purl stitches. I crossed them by putting the first two stitches on a cable needle in back, knitting the third stitch, returning the second stitch to the working needle, purling it, and then knitting the stitch remaining on the cable needle.

The cable crosses on the cuff get closer together as they get closer to the heel but are uniform on the top of the foot.

These are 72 stitches worked on size 2.75 needles. The sole is 27 stitches and the top of the foot is 39 stitches. There are six sets of cables at the toe, each of which is reduced by two on the penultimate row, bringing the stitch count down to 27. I closed each set of cables by slipping the first stitch, passing the third over the second, slipping the second, passing the first over the second, returning the remaining stitch to the working needle and purling it.
