Knitted for my friend Heather who has badly affected feet with RA. No special technique-just so happens that socks my size are comfy for her. I did these using my toe up method, Andersson Heel Mach 2. I used 72 sts on 2.25mm KnitPick circular. The yarn is a generic €1 a ball yarn from a German hypermarket, Globus. (about 80p or $1.50) 75% superwash wool, 25% nylon.
Mach 2 heel.
Toe using Judy's Magic Cast On
Toe without a foot in it.

Loverly socks! I hope she likes them, what am I saying. Handknit socks who wouldn't!
Great looking Socks, Colin. Wonderful work as always...
You are so kind to make socks for your friends. The fact you even took the time and effort to make them with her physical issues in mind, is frosting on the proverbial cake.
Beautiful socks! I wish my socks turned out as pretty.
This brought tears to my eyes. I have knit socks for someone I didn't even know because she couldn't knit anymore. I sent them to her clear across the US.
Colin, you have a heart of gold to share your wonderful talent of sock knitting with a precious soul.
Your socks are truly the best! I sure wish you would do a sock book:)
Love that magic cast on - isn't it cool?
Take care,
Joan
