Crenellated Toe-Up Socks

Crenellated Toe Up Socks 

The idea for these socks came from the book Cool Socks Warm Feet by Lucy Neatby. I did change it a little bit. I did a garter stitch toe and did a short row heel. This was my first attempt at a short row heel. For my first try, I think I did a fair job. I know I'll get better with practice. I made a little wider cuff than was in the book. The yarn is Fortissima Colori.

Christine's Trekking Socks

Trekking Sock 
These are socks I made for Christine,as part of her Christmas gift,along with the beer cozies. They are made with Trekking XXL sock yarn. I love this yarn. The picture in not the best quality. I think I need to play with the settings a little to see if I can get better pictures. I'm not real pleased with the way they turned out. I hope they look better on Christine than they do in the picture. Below is a close up of the cuff lace pattern. The close up shows a more accurate view of the color, but not exactly and doesn't show how nice the lace pattern is.
