...I did a provisional cast on at the ankle and then started the pattern (my own Super Simple Worsted Weight Sock Pattern)...
...and I did another princess sole as I'll be wearing these hiking and I want that smoothness next to my sole...
...once I finished turning the heel I decreased a few stitches (4 - down to 44) for a better fit on my foot...
...I'm loving that princess sole too...
...and...I'm loving the provisional cast on - now I can use the entire skein and make the socks as tall as possible - just knit one purl one ribbing from here and then a red band at the top...
...I like the shape and fit of a top down sock - but I like not running out of yarn like a toe up sock and I want these socks to be as tall as possible…
Nice! I am still learning to knit, but those look great!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are knitting at the pool? Sock look comfy, too. MOM
ReplyDeleteThat looks very cool. I wish I were better at knitting socks.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to not run out of yarn!
ReplyDeleteSplendid socks! I won't mention sock envy!
ReplyDeleteLovely! They look like they fit wonderfully, and it would be fun to try the provisional cast on, too!

I am so daunted by knitting. I tried once and my brain couldn't get it, nor could my fingers. :) As always... the socks look so cozy and wonderful!
