Wow, my sockpal socks are finally done! I ripped out the Bad Toe and re-knit it. After all my worrying, I was done ripping and re-knitting that same night. I really like Posh Yarn's Lucia sock yarn. It is such a soft, luxury yarn (merino cashmere blend), but it stands up so well to ripping and re-knitting. These are Monkeys, knit on 2.5mm Addis with a picot top replacing the ribbing. I love this pattern! Cookie A's patterns are great :)

I've been very lucky that both times I've participated in Sockapalooza, I've knit for someone with very similarly sized feet. It makes it a lot easier!
Now, I get the fun of picking something new to start! Rambling Rose? Wisp? More socks? My only concern with Rambling Rose is how to deal with the selvedge for seaming when there is so much 1x1 ribbing. I might need to think about that for a while before I start.

Those are gorgeous! Knitting for someone whose feet are similar to yours is always a good thing. Lots of practice.
Howdy stranger! I'm back from a week away and glad to be back, but have way too much to catch up on.
I'm glad you ripped and re-knit, the toe looks soo much better than it did in previous pics. Good to see yer doing well!
Cheers
