I noticed that the current Knitty has a toe-up sock formula. Has
anyone tried it? I have only made top down socks and was thinking
about trying this to get a better fit for DH. He loves his new socks
but I think I could improve on the fit.

I have tried toe-up, not once, but three times, just so that I could say
that I had given it a fair chance. I don't like it. I'll stick to the tried
and true method I have been using for decades.

I saw the pattern too! And I NEEEED it, so I think I will start soon!
On my way home from holiday I bought two balls of Danish sock yarn,
and started a "normal" sock from the top.
But one ball was not enough to finish one sock,
so I frogged it (I cannot get the yarn here).
I think a toe up pattern would be perfect for me this time, and I liked
the pattern.
Knitting toe up, I will certainly finish the foot with one ball,
and then the leg will be "the big surprice"; long or short;
surely VERY short ;-)
Now my days are a bit back to normal, "back in business", and
the weather is not so tempting any more.
After the first two weeks at school, I'm sure I will have some spare
time.
Tell us if any of you knit these socks, and show us a picture! I will
try!
I hope to pop in here more often now,
I've been very occupied privat the last weeks :-)
DH is much better.
We have tried to be much out on the sea when the weather is nice.
It is still OK to take a bath, yesterday the sea temperature was
17C*/62,6F(to be exact ;-))
So we still hope for a bit more summer, even I'm not sure all of you
would consider this to be summer.
Take care all of you!
AUD ;-)

I am happy to hear that your DH is better. Mine has had two heart
attacks over the last fourteen years, bypasses and lots of meds but his
last check-up was very positive. He got good marks from his doctor for
sticking to his exercise, drugs and healthy diet.
I was surprised to hear that your sea temperature was so much higher
than ours. Puget Sound is between 52 and 54 degrees -- the Sound in
front of us is quite deep and doesn't change in temperature much.
Sometimes it will warm up a bit from the rocks in the shallow part
close to shore - but wetsuits are the norm for anyone who plans to get
in. Judy
