A while back, I posted regarding the Gelderland socks found in a furniture catalog. Did you ever see them? Look:

The Gelderland Sock

I wish I could surprise you all with a photo of my completed version of this sock, but I've been a little distracted.... (making maps, killing gross things and getting my butt kicked).

Instead, I have the pattern worked out--in both written and chart form. I don't know if anyone is interested in it, but I'll post the written instructions here. Maybe someone who's not quite so knit-distracted could check them out. I'll try to get the charts up as soon as I figure out how to make them web-friendly... Edit: Charts are up, see the table below for two different versions of each chart. Let me know which you prefer, so I know what would be better to put in the PDF I want to make.

ETA: I'm working on this project now and already I can tell you it's not right. Updates to follow.

Knit in heel of your choice

Foot

From the beginning of the round (same place as for the leg) work as
follows.

Round 1: k22, m1, k2tog, k12, m1, k2tog, k22
Round 2-3: K all.

Now, repeat following five rounds until foot is desired length

Round 1: k19, m1, k2tog, k18, m1, k2tog, k19

Round 2: k18, m1, k2tog, k20, m1, k2tog, k18

Round 3: k17, m1, k2tog, [k3, m1, k2tog, k12, m1, k2tog, k3], m1, k2tog,
k17. On last repetition, in Round 3, replace between [ and ] with [k22].

Round 4: k16, m1, k2tog, k24, m1, k2tog, k16

Round 5: k15, m1, k2tog, k26, m1, k2tog, k15

I like a wider toe, so I usually knit to within one inch of the end of my foot and then begin decreases. If you want a narrower toe, do fewer reps of the above pattern and begin decreases when two inches from toe.

K 2 more rounds, then continue with your own choice of toe.

How do you know which you'd prefer? How far down (measuring from the tip of your big toe) does your foot begin to narrow? Use that for when to begin your decreases.

I'll be back later (I hope) with chart images, for those who prefer charts. And eventually, a PDF to download, so you don't have to copy/paste/format so much. *smile*
