I did not want to begin my sock swap without finishing the pair I had on the needles. I originally wanted them longer, but never found the time to figure out how to adapt the increases to the pattern. Finally, I decided that it was time to move on, so I made the cuff and finished them.
I used a short row heel...
And here's my attempt to show a close up of the pattern.
Now I can start knitting a new pair. This is the yarn I chose:
I already found a pattern I like a lot, except for the toe. Of course, I could make a regular toe. I am going to think things over before casting on, because I also have to adapt the pattern to my gauge.
