I am especially pleased with the socks. I think they are the best I've ever knitted. The finish to the heel turn is improved by due to a mathematical error I made which has turned out to be an improvement. I have also improved on the one by one ribbed gusset by design.
I knitted them using Indigo Crush by Knitman's Kitchen, 80% super wash merino, 20% bamboo, 400 metres to 100 g. I used Addi Lace circular needles 2 MM size.
These are going to a dog show friend, who asked me for a pair. We are the same size and he tried these on at the show so they are now his. Hence the name of this pair of socks.

Beautiful socks. I especially like the ribbed gusset. Are these your new toe up pattern?
Wonderful socks!

I like the a lot, Colin! I see what you were saying about the different spot for the increase--it looks really nice.
Beautiful socks! By any chance did you re-write the instructions to reflect the accidental improvement?
Colin - I totally agree w/ both Michele AND Ginger. Please? Beautiful work, as always, only MORE beautiful this time!
I love the flashing effect on them and the seemingly elongated gusset and have looked and looked where the calculation error could have been.
I only see design features and really love the all over outcome of this pair.
It would be one of my favourites, too. Had I knit them.
Any chance for a "how to" of that calculation error?
need more time and stamina for knitting socks again.
