This is the first time I've been seriously tempted to abandon the second sock. The fit isn't as good as the others I've made. I think that's because the cuff is a bit too short, plus continuing the rib through the top of the foot pulls that in a bit more. I've given myself a bit of extra length in the foot to compensate. I'll see how they feel when I wear them. Even if they don't turn out to be my best pair, I'm learning and gaining experience, so it's OK.

Loving your socks!
I really like wearing ones with rib carried all the way down the top of the foot - they just feel like they hug your foot better.
Oh & maybe you could fold down the leg part to make cute "fold over" socks! (You could even add some rufflyness for added cuteness!!)
Thanks. The foot-hugging feeling is just what I was after. I don't think I've got enough leg to fold over, but I definitely have plans for ruffliness in the future :)
I had a lovely pair of green woollen socks with the rib running along the top. They were nice to wear on their own. The problem came when I wore shoes as the pressure of the shoes done up nice and firm caused the rib to cut into the top of my foot. It became more painful the longer I wore the shoes so that by the end of the day my feet were seriously sore.
I gave them to Ra who found the same thing. We recently decided that cute and comfy didn't work if it had to be shoeless. They went to charity.
I hope you have a better experience.
I've got a pair of black mary-jane shoes that are just a bit too big. I'm hoping they might work.
