Because I knit two socks at the same time (one from the inside of the ball, and one from the outside), they ended up being kind of mirror-opposites to each other. I love &#8217;em! And so does he. I did a 1&#215;1 rib at the top, then switched to a Garter Rib (K2,P2 for one round, K second round, repeat) &#038; I was really happy with how that looked. For the most part, followed the pattern from Sensational Socks, though I think it told me to do my gussets on the bottom of the foot &#8211; another mistake, I&#8217;m guessing, the book has a LOT of errata &#8211; so I&#8217;m mainly using the book for stitch patterns &#038; cast-on numbers &#038; doing my own thing for heel &#038; toe shaping in the future.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/plazajen\/104843912\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/43\/104843912_d7eb3f2682.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Another view of the cast on\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/plazajen\/104844060\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/35\/104844060_435aa9a357.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"498\" alt=\"Trekking Socks for James\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s in the future? Well, I&#8217;ve already got another pair in the works, with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bluemoonfiberarts.com\">Socks That Rock<\/a> yarn we bought when Kristin needed some positive karma during her house-buying adventure. This skein is the Queen Rock colorway, and again, the yarns were just SO much more impressive in person than on the computer.  I&#8217;m doing a yarn-over cable pattern (again from Sensational Socks) and it looks really cute! I started out doing the Laburnum stitch &#038; that was too lacy for my taste.) <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/plazajen\/104844201\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/43\/104844201_a682b39919.jpg\" width=\"454\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Socks that Rock\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I finished JWo&#8217;s Valentine&#8217;s Day socks &#8211; out of Trekking, and they&#8217;re just so be-yooo-tiful, if I do say so myself!
