My first pair of real socks! Got the yarn for my birthday (thanks, mom!). These will probably be 'round the house slipper socks, so I plan to put some puff paint dots on the soles. Not sure I am a sock person, but if I ever do socks again, I will definitely do toe up again. Love being able to try them on at every stage in the process.

My own invention. See: www.ravelry.com/projects/kayray/spiral-socks

You can see the tops differ a bit. I used long tail cast on on the right and knitted cast on on the left. Left wins.

This is another shot of the first socks I knit to wear. Sadly, yes, my legs really are that glowing fish-belly white.

Bits of solid and heathered Berroco Ultra Alpaca in wide and narrow stripes. They narrow significantly (by 3") from the cuff to the ankle, though the ribbing and stripes disguise it—no slouchy socks for me, please!

Toe-up knitted socks

Purple multicolor sock on the left:

Made for shoe size 38/39 on 2 circulars 4mm. with Zitron Trekking Handart Colombo (75% wool/25%polyamide nylon/100 g/420 m) and Drops Alpaca (100% Alpaca/50 g/180m). Toe-up (Magic Cast-on technique by Judy Becker). Short Row Heel. One Skein Zitron Trekking together with 2 skeins of Drops Alpaca is enough is enough to make one pair. One thread from both types of wool are knitted together.

Red sock on the right:

Made for shoe size 38/39 on 2 circulars 4mm. with Zitron Trekking Handart Nepal (75% wool/25%polyamide nylon/100 g/420 m) and Drops Kid Silk (75%Mohair Super Kid/25% Silk/25 g/200 m).Toe-up (Magic Cast-on technique by Judy Becker). Short Row Heel. One Skein Zitron Trekking together with 1 skein of Drops Kid Silk is enough to make one pair. One thread from both types of wool are knitted together. This is the Rolls Royce of socks. The silk makes it super light and so so soft to the touch.

...light blue to be specific! This boy is crazy about his socks

A present from mawelucky in Kansas. I am so taken with them, that I may not wear trousers to work tomorrow.

Well, I probably will -- it's getting chilly out this week. But now, I have spiffy wool socks to wear.
