What are you most proud of?

First pair of socks and they look pretty good. I modified the sock to what my roommate liked without getting lost.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Donna really gives you the tools to make a nice sock. Don't be afraid to read and listen to the instruction and then modify to what suits your needs. I adore the afterthought heel, and the Kitchener stitch is like magic.

I love your adaptation! I would like to modify a pair just like you have, since I do not like knee-high socks. Was it difficult to figure out how to adapt the pattern?

No I found that with Donna's instructions on customizing the fit + the anatomy of the sock section it was easy. I just knit the sock as instructed for the size I was making, did an afterthought heel and then knitted the length the recipient wanted. I would recommend that you still do the rib at the top, I had to reinforce the top with eleastic to make it stay on the foot.
