When i'm not packing boxes for our move to Yuma, Arizonia, I'm knitting on socks. This pair of Childrens socks size 10 was knitted from some Opal Harry Potter (Harry) Sock Yarn.
I love knitting cables and since this pair of socks was knit with 44 stitches I had to come up with my own design. So I started out with the 44 stitches and did a k1, p1 on the cuff for 1 inch. Then I started working on the leg. I decided to p3, sl 3 sts on cn, and hold them in front, then k3, k3 from cn, p2. I then repeated this around. The next 5 rows I p3, k6, p2 around. This worked out fairly well and gave me 4 nice cables evenly spaced. I repeated these 6 rows until the leg measured 4 3/8 with the cuff included.
Once the leg was finished I started on the heel flap and worked on it until it measured 1 7/8 inches. Then I worked on the heel turn. The foot of the sock I decided would be plain as I thought the cable would be too thick across the top of the foot. Probably not but, I just thought I'd leave the foot plain all the same. The foot measures from the back of the heel flap to the tip of the toes 6 1/4 inches.
I've since started on a second pair of these socks this morning. These were fun to make.
