I'm halfway there!

Well, actually MORE than halfway because I had started the ribbing for the second sock on another set of needles. I'm Sooooo glad I did that because now I'm facing only a couple inches of wrist breaking ribbing instead of 8...

I decided to try the Pointed Toe as I think it might be a better fit for my person's long toes. So here it is- a modified pointed toe, adapted from the very wonderful Knitting Vintage Socks by Nancy Bush. It's worked over slightly more rows than the Basic Sock toe, otherwise known as the classic French toe. Also, it does not call for the Kitchener, so if you don't especially like grafting you might want to have a go at this technique!

Well it's back to ribbing for me.

Yours in knitting,
Claire
