I finally, finally finished my socks I love to refer to as my "New York Socks". I'm going to Rhinebeck in October and the colorway reminds me of carmel apples. Since New York is the Big Apple these are my New York Socks. This is only my second pair of socks that I knit and these ones actually fit me. Thanks to the tip I received from the Knitting Fairy to knit up to the crack in my toes and than decrease. Yeah!! It worked and the socks fit.
I tried a three needle bind off for the toe and I loved it! Much easier to me than kitchnering the toe.
Now that the kids are back in school I am working on organizing my many projects I want to do for the upcoming craft shows I'm in with my friend Lynn. One craft show is on Oct 27. I'll let you know where. The other is at St. Jude Church 1515 Greenville Avenue, Allen on Nov 2-3.

Love the colorway, perfect for New York. Good job.
Knitting Fairy gave you good advice. Then you don't have to rip them back like I did and add an extra inch so they actually fit!
