Comments: These are knitted from the toe up. I designed (created?) the Wheat Rib stitch pattern.

I usually prefer knitting socks from the cuff down, but the stitch pattern won't work in reverse. So I had to adapt.

They also feature a short rowed heal.

I did a 3 by 1 twisted rib for the cuff. I just adore twisted rib. It has just a little bit more oomph aesthetically than plain rib.

 I am currently writing up the pattern with plans to post it on my pattern blog. I need to test knit it some more before I'm confident enough to let it go public.

This is not the only thing I've been working on. I will tell you about the rest in my next post.

Live long and prosper.\\//
