Fishing trip socks


August 2006

I knit these socks while on a week-long fishing trip at Crotch Lake, Ontario. (Most of the knitting was done in the boat.) I made up the pattern as I went. I knew these socks would be shorter than most, so I knit them toe-up, with short-row toes and heels. There are 56 sts. in each round. Staggered 4-stitch cables up the front were twisted every 16 rounds. Cuff is *k3, p2* ribbing. Regular bind off, but loose. Perfect colours for knitting at a lake.
