Here is a new pair of Knee Socks in size Medium.
This is my own 75/25 Wool/Nylon fingering weight yarn in my recent dye batches of Mouse Grey and Clay.
I was watching CSI Miami the other night (closing toes) and the villain, er, villainess was wearing a cool pair of knee socks. They (and she ;o) ) inspired me. I think her colours ran more to butterscotch, but these were as close as I had on hand and, you know, you gotta' create when you get the urge!
Both pairs are knit with the 72 needle cylinder on the Verdun 47. The only difference between the Medium and Medium + is that the former is 5 rows shorter in the foot, and I slip stitches on the top of the foot - beginning 15 rows before the heel- to narrow the foot slightly.

I don't understand what you mean by "slipping stitches on the top of the foot to narrow it a bit". Could you explain what that means? I have had some instances where a slightly narrower foot would really help out. Thanks!
