Olympic knitting--Done!
Finished. With minutes to spare! And, here's the proof--The Torino socks.
I ended up using Lisa's Sock! yarn in the St. Valentine color and size 0 (2 mm) needles. The patterns were adapted from the trilogy sets of both the Fanderl and Erlbacher books. It has a Joyce Williams short row heel/sole combination with gusset and the toe is based on one from an old Stahl book (I think). I had hoped to make the pattern available immediately (from Heartland Knits, of course), however, want to wait a bit so I can be sure if the accuracy of the directions. Sometimes a few days or weeks away from the instructions can give you fresh eyes to spot mistakes.
So, check back soon.

Faaaaaaaabulous! SUPER Fabulous design, Vicki. Look like we need to collaborate! :o)))
Oh, man. Very cool socks. Be sure to scream it out when you have the pattern ready!
bellissima :-)
Beautiful Vicki! What special socks:-)
Wow what beautiful socks! Do you think I would have a hard time converting them to a regular flap and gusset heel? Short row heels do not agree with me.

Oh my, Vicki, those are some gorgeous socks! I think the wave on the top of the foot looks like the luge - or maybe the downhill skiers course. How is that pattern coming along? You know we are all chomping at the bit!
