Might I suggest that in the next pair you work the sole of the foot in purl 4, knit 2 ribbing? It makes the sole of the sock thicker and much more comfortable to wear.

Now you see why handknit articles are a bit expensive. And worth every penny.
piperdbh & standard, thanks.

an acquaintance of mine, after seeing these socks, fell in love with them and asked that I make a pair for her. It's put me in a quandary --- socks require a lot of time, those tiny stitches, and can't really charge her a lot. So it's a labor of love.
