Afghan Socks

I've had some Poems sock yarn in my stash (came with a shawl kit), and recently came upon an old book from SpinOff on socks. I love the Afghan Socks pattern, and decided to try the color changing Poems with the pattern. 

This yarn is quite  thin and loosely spun, and a single, so I think that  a two color pattern seems appropriate to help it wear better.  Regardless, I loved working the changing color patterning so it was a quick knit!   Next time I will do a provisional cast on for the heel.

I get very cold feet in the winter, so these are a nice thing even here in Georgia at this time of the year.

I've done afghan inspired socks before.  Anna Zilboorg's book "Magnificent Socks and Mittens" gave me the pattern from a pair of mittens that I adapted to socks a couple of years ago.  The yarn is Frangipani guernsey and so far it's very sturdy for socks. These don't have the traditional "afterthought" heel, I did my regular heel flap style sock.
