Sat, 16 Sep 2006 08:35:46 +0000 http://www.thedietdiary.com/blog/lucia/339#comment-10763 [...] I was just going along with the women’s s-m size ‘Starter Stockinette’ in the book Knit Socks! when I decided to finally try them on at 7 inches past the heel (about 2-2.5 inches before the tips of the toes, right?). Well, they were loose and at my toes. Hmm.. well, Sue likes looser socks, and they’d be plenty warm in her flipflops, so I decided to split these as practice Tabi socks. I borrowed basic division from Lucia’s blog and tried them on to see where I really wanted to divide. Well, across the tops, my toes are just under 3.5 inches. These are 48 stitch socks. I decided on 14 stitches for the big toe (7 from each needle on that side of the sock) and cast on just 3 extra sts between the toes. The yarn between the socks is all there is left! I wasn’t sure when I started if I could make the toes the same color as the socks. Looks like I’ll be fine! I just need to graft the toes, then I can finish knitting the big toes.

And they are pretty easy to knit--just think mitten when you get to the toe part.
