I've been lugging these socks to Knit Nite for months now, and finally finished them tonight! DD is at her Dad's, so come Monday, we'll see if they fit!
I knitted these toe-up, and was surprised that two balls of Regia 4-ply was enough to make knee-high socks, granted they're for a 10 year old, but still! I did the turkish cast-on, stockingnette, and an afterthought heel. To make the socks stay up, I made a super-elastic k1-p1 cuff on size 000 needles, my first time to ever go that small, but once you've knitted with 2.0mm, 1.5mm is really not that different.
A fun time was had by all....
So sorry I missed that knit nite! I have been waiting to see those socks off the needles for a very loooooong time! Congrats!
