I can’t actually remember when I finished these. They have been sitting on the arm of the settee waiting for me to photograph them for ages.
The toe looks a little weird here because my plastic foot model is quite a bit smaller than my foot.
The yarn is Cherry Tree Hill Supersock, and I think the colour is Tropical Storm.
I experimented with a garter stitch heel for these, which I like very much. It looks nice and neat and is very comfortable.
I also did a ribbed hem.
I like how this looks. Very neat from the inside too.
It is a bit pointless though, since rib doesn’t curl anyway. You do get rid of a cast on edge, but the rib makes the cuff quite thick. It was an interesting experiment but I don’t think I will do it again. I think I will experiment more with hems in other stitches.
Very nice colour! A quick question, do you use a 3×1 or a 3×2 rib for your socks? I haven’t ever done a ribbed sock and they seem to be so good for hugging your feet so I thought I’d give it a go. Tried a 4×4 rib yesterday and it looks too wide to my liking, so I ripped it back today. Looking forward to your reply:)
Hi
your garter stitch heels are beautiful ad I think it’s a really good idea to have the nice and soft stockinette on the inside
thanks for the ti !
