I finished the foot and heel of one sock, and I think it's fabulous. Nice...and..snug...but...
Whoops! I ribbed both the top and the sole of the foot. Which, I take it, one is not supposed to do.
At this point, it feels comfortable. But will it eventually irritate my tootsies? Will the soles wear out faster if they aren't stockinette? What will become of this hapless sole-ribber?
Posted by jess at November 16, 2005 10:05 AMHey Jess, Eleanor got put away for moving, and needs to be pulled out again, she's so easy to work on, I just need to remember to put her somewhere that I can pick her up and continue from!
So you'll see her again soon, going well though, the colors show up so great with this stitch method, and I love the way the yarn feels. :)

Posted by: jody at November 16, 2005 6:19 PMHmmm, not sure about that one. Winnie ribbed the bottom of her Springgrass Socks, so you might want to ask her how they're holding up.
Posted by: Angela at November 16, 2005 6:22 PMWhy not rib both sides? I think that it will be fine.
Posted by: Colleen at November 17, 2005 8:52 AMHmmm... well I think the reason for not ribbing the soles of socks has to do with comfort. Do they work with shoes?
