Hell’s Canyon is a lovely tourist spot in British Columbia, Canada. They have a cable car there that travels across a gorge. I visited there, loved it, and these socks are reminiscent of the cable I saw. The socks are sized to fit most women, and there is an alternate for Men’s Medium (men’s 9-11) in brackets. They knit up quickly and the pattern is quite detailed, so suitable for beginning sock knitters. Solid colours are much more suitable and delineate cables more satisfactorily than variegates or striping-type yarns. I believe you will be more satisfied if you use a solid colour.
