These are the latest socks off the needles. They are knee socks for Sarah. The yarn is Madelinetosh 100% superwash merino in the Vintage Apron colorway. These were knit toe up using Judy's Magic cast on for the toes. The rest of the pattern is the On-Your-Toes Socks by Ann Budd from the Summer 2007 Interweave Knits magazine. These socks were knit on US size 2 (2.75mm) until I got up to the calf, then I switched to US size 3 (3.25mm).I love the yarn. I'm not sold on toe up socks, but I may try them again. It was good in the sense that I divided the yarn into two equal balls and was able to use all the yarn. It's good to try new things.

I cannot believe you knitted both toe up and really, really long socks - patience of a saint! :) They are gorgeous though, and I love the colourway.
It was a challenge, but a good one. The color combination is one of Sarah's favorites.
the colours are fabulous on those socks. I really don;t have the patience for knee socks although doing them toe-up is probably a really good idea
