November 09 Another pair of *what-do-I-do-with-all-these-little-balls-of-yarn* socks.
I love making these, and with winter coming I can use another pair. Mostly handspun 2 ply, heel and toe are commercial yarn leftovers I over-dyed.
Size 3 US needle
Ran out of the lighter color yarn from the 1st sock, so used a beige for the 2nd sock ankle area and near the toe section. I liked it better!
These socks pulled in a bit because of all the patterning, but still fit well and are
becoming favorites to wear. Note to self, allow for 4 extra sts in leg area next time.

I frogged the first attempt at these toe-up socks. I'm using a size 2 needle, but the # of stitches in the pattern made a sloppy foot for me, so I eliminated parts of 2 cables to make it smaller. I knit the leg as in the pattern, increasing as I finished the heel. When I finished sock #1, I decided that the foot was too snug after all, so I added some plain stitches on the sides of the instep the 2nd time around. Photo is sock #2.
Have now cut off the foot from sock #1 and will knit down to finish it to match.
I like this pattern, though I find it slow going with all the cables. I prefer it in a solid yarn rather than the variegated shown in the magazine. Photo of the originals here:
Will make these again!
