Tweedy Sock

I completed this sock today. I'm trying to improve my basic Man Sock, having knit almost exclusively in the past for myself and V., who is very much not a man.

I sought out the most basic Man Sock pattern I could find - Plain Socks from 101 Ways to Improve Your Knitting by Barbara Abbey (Original copyright 1942, but I have the 12th edition, published in 1962) - one of my favorite knitting books. I recommend this book to anyone learning to knit.
