Two Socks - - Cuff Down

Yes, I've started another pair of socks! My pumpkin orange socks (toe up) are still on hold! These socks are cuff-down and I'm using KnitPicks Sock Landscape (color: Red Wood Forest) with a size 2 needle (40 inch long.) I'm using the 'basic cabled socks' pattern by brainylady. Can you see the cable band on the right cuff in the photo? Can you also see that although each ball is supposed to be 50g and 192 yds. they are not equal in size? Hmmmm.
By the way, this 'sock landscape' yarn (100% merino wool) feels just as soft and comfy as their 'sock garden' yarn (also 100% merino wool.) The sock yarn by KnitPicks that fails in my book is the 'essential' wool yarn, it is 75% superwash wool and 25% nylon. OMG, I made a swatch out of that yarn and it felt like a brillo pad! I packaged up all 12 balls and mailed it back for a refund!

I finished my LB mohair scarf, and it is ready for blocking & beading. I'll post a photo as soon as it comes off of the board.
