Pick a yarn and needle s...You can totally do that. Pick a yarn and needle size you like and follow the cast on directions. You'll know after a few rows if it will be wide enough to make you happy. Then, as annika said, knit until it's a length you like, turn the heel and work the foot until it's a length you like, then work the toe.<BR/><BR/>If the yarn/needle combo you pick makes a diameter that is too big or small just take out or add some repeats of the cable pattern or even some plain ribbing.<BR/><BR/>Or really go nuts and make up your own design. I've got a cable book you can borrow. :)<BR/><BR/>Oh, and as far as what to do with all the socks, I gift them to Grant's mom. She seems to like them and I love knitting them (though not wearing them - I'm an open-toe or barefoot kind of girl).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13520362.post-1721146973425053172007-08-29T08:42:00.000-07:002007-08-29T08:42:00.000-07:00I'm sure you could do that.
