Red Sox Season

thanks for the compliments on the socks.  a few of you asked if the pattern was Nancy Bush's gentleman sock pattern and i'm proud (small p-proud mind you, i didn't find the cure for cancer or anything) to say that they are not nancy bush's gentleman socks (as lovely as they might be). they are my socks.  that i made up from my head.  all by myself.  like a big girl. 

it's a basic top down heel flap sock.  i cast on 60 stitches because the stitch  (a twisted rib) i used is a 4 stitch repeat.  the flap was knitted on 28 stitches.  the pattern was continued on 32.  for my gusset i picked up 16 stitches and decreased to a total of 60. 

then when i got to the toe i decreased the toe by 4 stitches so that i was left with a total of 56 stitches.  14 for each dpn, 28 on each side if done with two circs or magic loop.  then i just decreased my toe and then kitchenered. 

these were knit with plymouth sockotta in a solid red on size 2 40 inch addi turbos.  (i have big feet.  i need to make myself big socks.) 

i think these will be great for watching the red sox go to the world series!
