These are Toe-Up in Lana Grossa 45% Cotton and 42%wool. They've got a lovely silky feel and I thought they'd be nice for Summer.

I used a Turkish Cast on and MakeOne increases for the toes.....

and short-row heels ...

They look nice Very Happy

I've not tried a Turkish cast on yet and you've got a good looking toe there, I think I'll have to give it a go. That's the nice thing about socks, there's always something new to try or play with.

what a lovely colour. Very Happy

I'm far too scared to try toe up socks, let alone scary cast ons!!

Very fresh and summery! Very Happy

I love the Turkish cast-on. If I hadn't found it, I'm not sure I'd have tried toe-ups a second time! Evil or Very Mad

All my socks used to be short row toes but the Turkish Cast On toe is very much my favourite now.
