Here is Eric's Hound Dog sock, yarn  from Sheila's Wullen Studio Designer Yarn yarns, Merino & Nylon.  They feel heavenly.  So in August I will be making the mate to this along with the mate to the grey sock.  Two at a time on a circular.  Stay tuned. That should be a real hoot.
By the way I came up with this pattern out of necessity.  His legs are skinny above the ankle and fat at the calf.
