Aaaaaand here they are, in all their glory:

These socks comprise many of my favorite sock-knitting techniques to date.  I prefer techniques that work well and are easy to memorize, so for those of you who want to know the nuts & bolts, here’s a brief recap:

 Tess’ Best Toe-up Socks recipe

Judy’s excellent-(but-not-magical) CO:  20 sts.

(M1, YO) inc to 60 sts.

Textured ribbing patt on instep:  8 reps.  Here’s a chart:

Short row heel:  I’ve tried Priscilla Gibson-Roberts’ version and I’ve tried Knitty’s version, but I still haven’t found what I consider to be a fabulously GREAT one.  I’m working on it.  Anyone have any suggestions?

Textured ribbing patt on cuff:  11 reps.

BO:  P2tog tbl.

More details, including yarn used and where I picked up some of the techniques, are available on the first post.
