Here's the toe of the sock just before unzipping the crochet chain that I used as a foundation. I actually had to do this twice, because on my first attempt the thread I used for the crochet chain was too thin. As a result, that side of the sock had a noticeably tight row right right after the toe.
The crochet thread I used instead might look like it's too bulky, but it actually produced the right gauge. Here's the sock so far:
Soon I'll be turning the heel. Right now I'm doing ribs just on the upper side, but once I turn the heel it will have ribbing all around.

I love socks. What is it about socks? Everytime I see someone knitting socks on a blog I just smile! :-)
I just turned the heel on mine and am heading down to the toe. Which way to you prefer to do socks, toe up, or top down?
Looking good. I haven't knit a pair of so toe up socks before. I'll have to try it out sometime.
