Menacing socks!

For a change, the most recent finished item off my needles is something not designed by me! I've finally gotten around to knitting a sock pattern that I bought in the 2014 Gift-along, and which has been waiting in my Ravelry library for the right yarn to make it really work.
Grillage by Aurelie Colas is meant for multi-coloured yarns. I'd been given this self-striping black and red yarn by a friend and knew it would be great for this pattern. As it turned out, coincidentally the length of the stripes is almost exactly the length of the pattern repeat too! The red and black does remind me of Dennis the Menace, though.
The short row heel is surprisingly comfy for that style of heel. I'm high in the instep and often find there isn't sufficient room in a gussetless heel but this one is very comfortable, and once you get the hang of the shadow-wraps it's easy to memorise so quick to work.

I'd definitely make these socks again for other similarly loud yarn!
