Flush with the success of the Fixation socks, I decided to make Boo a pair of pink socks. I showed her the pink yarn I’d bought, and she asked if it was “sparkly.” I said I’d see what I could do. The next day, I went back to where I’d bought the Tofutsies, and found a matching pink eyelash yarn that certainly qualified as “sparkly.” (And it was on sale.) So, I cast on more stitches than I needed, added the sparkly yarn, and ribbed the cuff in sparklies. After the cuff ribbing, I reduced the stitches to a more normal circumference and just knitted a basic sock. If I had it all to do again I might not double the yarn, and I almost certainly won’t rib the eyelash parts, but the effect of the cuff was exactly as I’d hoped: big and floppy and foldable down to a nice anklet, but also capable of staying up.
