These are my standard socks — toe up, following Wendy’s Toe-Up pattern, and Cat Bordhi’s Riverbed Arch expansion\/plain heel.\u00a0 For the\u00a0 ankle, I was inspired by the “Whirlpool socks” from Laura Nelkin (in “Knitting Socks With Handpainted Yarn”).\u00a0\u00a0 I liked the principle of the swirl, to help break up some of the striping from the variegated yarn, without having the colour variations arguing with (or obscuring) the stitch pattern.\u00a0 However, that was a top-down pattern, and I didn’t want to do beads.\u00a0 I wanted to emphasize the raised stitches on either side of a “channel” or “trench”, to make spiral “ridges”.\u00a0 So, I messed around and came up with the following (using the Knitter’s Magazine fonts<\/a>, which are a really useful tool):\u00a0 the 8 stitch repeat is as follows (with the broken rib pattern I used for the top cuff, thrown in for free \ud83d\ude09 ).<\/p>\n
