Fresh off the needles. It is a four hour drive to visit the grands, I knit while hubby drives, it usually takes 2 trips up and back to knit a pair of toe up socks. These are shorties I like to wear them with tie on sneakers. The upper part of the heel of the shoe frequently rubs on my heel so to add a little more cushion to the heel of the sock I continue the slip stitch heel as I start knitting in the round again for the leg of the sock about a half an inch. I continue the slip stitch heel with eight short rows so the back of the leg is a little bit taller, the sock stays up better instead of crawling down into my shoe. Then 8-10 rows of 2 x 2 ribbing and they are finished. Thinking about the yarn for the next trip. —Ann—

Your socks are wonderful; I would smile every time I looked at my feet while wearing them. Enjoy~
What fun socks. I need to get a new pair going soon for late night knitting.
These are fun socks! I need to make some like that for myself. Today I have to keep taking my shoe off to pull my socks back into place.
