Not All Feet Are Created Equal

Commercial socks are really not a good fit for every foot.   If one's foot or ankle is out of the norm, socks from the store just don't work.   I have a friend, Nancy, with just that problem.

Nancy sent her measurements and I pulled some yarn from the edge of the stash.  Going to the center is just too scary right now.   I chose some Encore Colorspun DK as it colors of the two skeins are like sunshine.   The "sock" gauge at which I work this yarn is five stitches to the inch (8 rows...if you are curious).   These socks are going quickly.  I want to get the first pair to Nancy to check the fit.

While this picture doesn't really show what I was doing well - if you squint you are kind of able to see it - it shows what I was doing to the back of the cuff to take the top of the cuff down to the measurement I needed at the heel flap.   No, I did not take notes but will have to look at the first sock carefully as I do the second.

I am going as quickly as I can before I forget why I did what I did.

With a little luck, I can finish the first sock quickly and do the second cuff this weekend.   I would like to get these on Nancy's feet so I can know if my numbers are correct.
