Presenting, at last, the Brotherman Socks. Knit in Schoeller-Stahl Cotolana, a cotton/nylon/wool blend (probably one for each of the three different color plies). At least I know my skills have improved, because the second one was a lot easier and quicker than the first.
That link noted the first was my fifth sock ever (and I finished it on August 13, so I am actually inside of two full years). Turns out its mate is not the sixth nor the eighth, but the fourteenth. I'm still pretty much a novice when it comes to socks, but #15 is on the needles (Trekking along) and I have yarn for dozens more ~
Yay!! Another lover of hand knit socksin Blogland. It may take awhile but every pair is worth the effort. They look fabu!

I go through cycles with socks. I'll make a bunch and then a simple sock will sit on the needles for years. I think that's one of the nice things about socks. You can pick them up almost any time and its usually never too hard to get started again.
