Made with a Knitpicks sock blank that I dyed myself (see earlier post), and a solid blue that I don't remember what it was. Knit toe up with a corrugated rib cuff. I have enough left of both yarns to make a second pair. These came out smaller than I had hoped, and will grace a friend's feet instead of my own. I'll use size 3 needles instead of size 2's on mine. This was my second try at socks with an inserted heel, and I think they will be my last. Trying to pick up all those live stitches was way too nerve-wracking. Thanks for the pattern, Tama!

Hey, they look flashy!
I wish you good luck with the pair for yourself.
Wow. Beautiful. Well done!
Next time try using a life line for those live stitches. Makes doing an inserted heel a breeze.
Duh! A life line never occurred to me. Thanks for the tip!
I love how they turned out!! Really great pair of socks. Nice job.
Stunning. The colors are so beautiful, I'm glad you have enough for a pair for yourself.
I'll be looking for info on the life line technique.

Wow! Just love that you posted your dyed blank and then your completed sock! They came out beautiful.
