Welcome to Gaia! ::

I have recently decided to design some toe socks. I have a pattern for geisha socks from my 2007 pattern-a-day calendar, and figured that altering them to have five toes would be pretty simple. A bit of simple math and a couple trials and errors later, and I now have my right sock finished!

Main portion of foot finished:


Big toe before decrease rows:


Big toe finished:


Second toe before decrease rows:


Second toe finished:


Third toe:


Fourth toe:


Final toe:


You may notice that I keep my makeshift stitch-holder yarn in the stitches until each toe is finished. I did this because each toe was an experiment, and I wanted to be able to just unravel and start over if I made a mistake without having to worry about dropping stitches.

That is awesome! I totally forgot that one can use stray strands of yarn to hold stitches.... Must remember that when I attempt fingerless mittens with half fingers on them.... Anywho! They look great! ^_^

Holy man, that's awesome! My (knitted) hats off to you on making all those toes!
