Back in April, I started a pair of toe up socks for WM.
I learnt a long time ago to knit two socks at the same time to save gauge issues later!
I finished the first sock but the cast off was too tight so I put the sock away.
At that time, the toe and the foot of the second sock had been knitted.
Due to workshop I am tutoring next week, I thought I should unpick that too-tight cuff and finish it. In the process, I discovered the second sock which I hadn't even thought about.
Both socks were finished after dinner last night and so the colours may be a little "off" due to the use of artificial light and flash.
WM is very happy with the socks; they fit perfectly - which I guess is the point of knitting socks from the toe up!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicVuhi9zidVYtY6A205Rx9zOyGVeX_7A4Ou8fI1uVJAVOeX6WL9rE37UTlBFr3tchFYrs2Fxk9g6WpWP2NMLkkjHZYEaaDfTsQ1NxZjGggkxIrzhs9KhmwtT-XxKeLVlZg6hNgK5Y0Ff4X/s320/2011+toe+up+socks+for+WM+side+view.jpg)

So, on Tuesday night I turned the heel and knitted most of the leg.
Yesterday I finished the leg and knitted the cuff.
