I got my socks finished in time to wear them for the Equinox. They are super comfy. I wasn't sure how I'd like wearing the garter toe and heel but I didn't notice the bumps at all - just their awesome squashiness. I added an inch or so of pail 3x2 ribbing at the top of the sock. The pattern calls for you to just bind off after five inches of the pattern stitch but I like the way a bit of ribbing frames the pattern.
If you can cable without an extra needle this pattern goes really quickly. I found the second sock went even faster than the first one since I didn't have to keep checking and measuring to make sure it was the right size; I just counted to the same number of repeats.
