So here's the front and back. And yes, that's a stitch holder, holding a dropped stitch; I was halfway down the heel flap before I noticed it, so I'm going to just go back and sew it in.
I really like the pattern; it does nice things for the yarn--the heel flap stripes are so plain in comparison. I'm trying to decide how far down the instep I want to take the purl rows--they're too bumpy to be very comfortable inside a shoe. I'll just go by eye, I guess, and try it on every once in a while. And I think I'll keep up the scallop pattern without the purl row clear down to the toe decrease.
It takes forever to knit a sock on 00 needles... Just thought I'd mention that...
I've been trying to decide on a pattern for my Schaefer Anne yarn, and I think I might take a crack at Cookie A.'s Pomatomous socks http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter05/PATTpomatomus.html I think it might look like dragon scales in these colors instead of fish scales.

(I'm so out of sync--everyone on the socknitters list is long past their Schaefer Anne period and well along into Claudia and Lisa Souza and Socks That Rock, and almost everyone's made a pair of Pomatomus socks.)
Uh, let me see--there's still the other basketweave-rib sock to do, the Bayerishe sock (which I WILL complete someday), then Jawoll plain vanilla sock, and the trinity-stitch shawl... Oh, pooh. It's not the product, it's the process (as the discussion went on socknitters this week)--I just love the act of knitting!

I never leave my babies alone outside. For the same reasons as you are, and if nobody is there, they get bored, and start getting into trouble. I don't want to give the neighbours any reason to complain about them.
I have a scarf pattern for Schaefer Anne yarn. It should be space dyed. So far I'don't have found it. Don't worry, there are still people out there, who didn't use all the mentioned yarns either (namely me). I would love to try Sundara yarn one day, or Wollmeise from Germany, but I've decided that this is not that important to go gaga over it. I have plenty of yarn, and will use that first. Your yarn looks gorgeous by the way. And your sock is coming along nicely.
*lol* Like most knitters, I can't wait to finish the project I'm on so I can start a new one. I should set up a specific site for UFOs. But yes, that Anne yarn is so beautiful. It's very fine, though, just barely fingering; I'm wondering if the other Schaefer sock yarn--is it Lola?--is a little heavier; I don't want to spend my life making socks on size 00 needles.
My neighborhood has changed considerably in the 19 years since I moved in. It used to be all single-family owner-occupied; now I think that in my block and the ones immedately east and west of me, there are maybe 4 houses still occupied by their owners; the rest are rentals. So I'm not too worried about the Ts' effect on most of my neighbors, beyond the fact that they're GSDs and I'd like them to be good ambassadors for their breed. They have a ways to go.
