What the heck does that have to do with socks? Nothing. It's just how my mind works. Normally my socks are "going down" (top down), but recently I seem to have been "going up" (toe up) with my socks.
On my left foot we have Azure and on my right foot we have Chartres Chausettes (aka my Stained Glass Socks). They're both toe up patterns. Also both have interesting heel details, but as I had previously mentioned, taking pictures of the backs of one's own heels is challenging!
Details of the yarns and such are all on Ravelry, so I won't bore you with them here. I really enjoyed knitting both patterns and now need to find some new open backed shoes to show off the heels, and did you notice? I made a point of shaving my pasty white legs so I didn't look like a wookiee!

Beautiful! The stained glass pair in particular calls to me... It seems my sock mojo is back!
I love them both. I really love the heel on the blue one. Do they fit different when they have pattern stitches on the heel?
Gorgeous colours.
Our Eaton's became a Sears here in Vancouver, BC.
So pretty!!!
I have given you a Gracie's Golden Blogger Award...come on over and check it out.
gorgeous socks - and too funny about the legs - why did you shave them - this is Canada.
I lve them both. I could really get into toe ups, but I'm thinking about making the blue one because the heel looks great!
