Here’s a picture of the toe-up socks I knitted for myself. “Toe-up” means they’re knitted starting at the toe. Socks can also be knitted starting at the cuff. The socks do well in the washer and dryer (not wool). I’m enjoying wearing them and showing them off.
OK, this sock in the picture isn’t the sock I ended up with. This one was sized a bit too big. It fit “just right,” instead of stretching on the foot comfortably. You can see the slack in the ankle if you look closely. So, I knitted the final pair of socks on needles 2 sizes smaller. The result was perfect sizing. But this picture still shows you what the socks look like. I still have the extra big one. Luckily, I had just enough yarn to do the next 2 socks without having to unravel this one to reuse that yarn. I figure this one is destined for some kind of sock puppet.
As soon as I got these off the needles, Wendy made clear here expectation that she gets a pair next. So, I found a fun Japanese sock pattern to knit for her. That’s on the needles now. I’ll post pictures soon.
