lovely. i too have been upable to find a toe up pattern i like. did some adapting on the 2 patterns i use. had to drop the needle size for the ankle/foot or they tend to fit Big Foot. i have a book with old cuff patterns. can't remember the title right now. i have lots of fun messing with combinations of designs for the cuffs and body. found out a few that do not work at all. again very nice socks.
