It doesn't feel like these socks were started that long ago. The time has flown by. My little guy played baseball this past spring which took up most of our week nights and weekends. I found myself cheering more than knitting. He was thrilled when his coach suggested for him to tryout for tournament baseball. He's been on cloud nine since he found out he made the tournament team. They have their first game next week and will play until the end of July.
In the past I have avoided carring the cuff pattern to the foot of the sock. In my mind the sock would feel uncomfortable with the pattern rubbing between my foot and my sneaker. I'm hoping that the socks feel just as good in my sneakers as on my feet. It's just too warm here right now to wear socks and sneakers for long periods of time.
The only change I made to the pattern was using the slip stitch to tighten the sock around my foot. One of the socks is about 1/4 inch shorter than the other. I ran out of yarn and couldn't knit the last few decreases. Overall, I'm happy with these socks. I keep telling myself my next pair will be toe up because I do favor toe up socks. The kitchener stitch was a lot easier for these socks than DH's black socks. However, we'll see what happens when I start making my next pair...toe up/cuff down...time will tell.

Nice socks! Great job - love the ribbed foot. I usually do stockinette there but the pattern always looks so much nicer :)
The colorway on these socks is so pretty. No one will ever know one sock is a little shorter than the other. They look great. . .
