Look Jaymi...

My red socks, for the Red Sock KAL, are off the needles and on my feet!
Yarn: Opal Rainforest Ladybug
Needles: 2.5mm bamboo DPNs
Pattern: My standard sock pattern. In this case, I ribbed for 20 rounds, then knitted stocking stitch for a futher 65 before commencing the heel flap. I used a slip-stitch heel flap.
I had planned to knit a rib/baby cables combination on the leg, but it just didn't look right. So after frogging, I went for speed over fancy LOL.
This time I did something a little different when picking up the heel flap edge stitches. I came across this post/technique on Grumperina's blog the other day and decided I'd try it for myself. It takes a little longer, IMO, to do it this way, but it does give a very smooth result.

I might actually get to wear them this weekend, now that the unseasonably HOT (37c aka 99f in OCTOBER for goodness sake!) weather seems to have abated. OzKnitter, on 13 October, 2006
