Sock Innovation with Wollmeise

I've been moving along with my Devon socks (from the Sock Innovation book) and finally have some photos to prove it.  I finished the first sock and I'm more than halfway through the leg of the second.  Since there's plenty of yardage in a Wollmeise skein (about 510 yards!!) and I rarely come close to running out of yarn for socks for myself anyway, I knit these according to the pattern with 4 repeats which results in a somewhat longer leg.   

But, since it's spring and there's plenty of rain moving through, these photos were taken inside and don't really do justice to the actual color.  Maybe once both socks are finished I'll be able to get some better photos of them with natural light.

In the meantime I'm in pretty good shape to get them finished and posted to the knit-along before the end of the month, but I'm hoping to work in some time for finishing my sweater, too, so there is the possibility of getting distracted.  I'm looking forward to having them finished and being able to wear them to see what the famous Wollmeise feels like after some wear, though.
