Finished Socks

The parade of socks continues!  (I checked and this is either the sixth or seventh pair of socks I've knit this year.)  I finished my Seed Pod socks.  These are knit in Emma's Yarn Practically Perfect Sock Yarn in the Mermaid Tavern colorway.  This was a nice little pattern.  The most complicated part happens at the top when you're excited about a new pair of socks, and then it settles into stockinette mindlessness all the way to the toe.  

Actually, any sock pattern could be worked this way: cast on and work a few rounds of your favorite ribbing, work the leg in the sock pattern and switch to stockinette a little before the heel flap.  Just remember - cable patterns need more stitches than stockinette for the same gauge and lace is the reverse!  You can compensate by increasing or decreasing stitches or by changing needle size.  Easy peasy!
