Mini Timberline Toe Sock

It didn't take me very long to knit this little sock up and learn the techniques for this sock from Lucy's book. It's got a Tubular cast-on which gives the top a smooth, rounded edge. Then it uses a Garter Stitch Short Row Heel which is just like a normal short row heel except you knit every row instead of purling on the wrong side. It looks very cool and I imagine would be a nice cushion on a sock. It finishes off with a Garter Stitch Common Wedge Toe. This particular technique uses purl rows to create the ridges and adds durability to the sock.

I liked using these particular techniques and look forward to casting on the full-size sock so I can try it on and see how it feels. I'm using my Socks That Rock Lightweight in colorway Thistle (used in mini version shown). I'll probably stay up later than I should just to get them going because I'm excited.
