I knit these socks almost entirely on airplanes and in airports ... they're my job interview socks! I started them on the way to the Joint Math Meetings, where I interviewed for a whole bunch of jobs, and then continued knitting on my way to and from several campus interviews. Now I'm finished with the socks, but unfortunately not quite done with interviews.
This pattern, Skew from Knitty, has a very interesting and unusual construction. The socks are knit from the toe up, on the bias, and then there are some extra increases and decreases, and suddenly you're grafting the back of the heel together and continuing up the leg.
The yarn is Shibui Staccato Sock, and it was lovely to work with. I got it from my mom a few years ago, and when I decided to knit socks from it I went on the hunt for a pattern that would show off the color changes in the yarn. I think Skew was perfect!
