October 2006
A nice, basic pair of socks for Bill's birthday. Yarn is Cherry Tree Hill supersock merino (colour: River Run, plus leftover potluck greens for the toes). Top down; c.o. 68 sts.; 2-by-2 ribbing at the cuff; short-row heel; wedge toe. To shake things up a bit, I used a new short-row technique for the heels (from a short-row tutorial on misocrafty's blog) and a rounder-than-usual toe (dec. 4 sts. every other round until 50% of total sts., then every round until 8 sts. left, then graft). These are a hit; the report is that they are "very comfortable."
