Photo Requirements: ALL required photos must be added to your project page. Never attach photos to your email. Emails with attached photos will be responded to telling you to resubmit properly, and then deleted.
Be sure your photos are in focus!
All of the photos need to show the socks in knitting direction, which means the cuffs have to be at the BOTTOM of the photo.
All of the photos need to show the socks stretched on blockers (normal sock blockers for the side views, straight blockers for the front and back views) or pinned to a board. If your blockers are too small for your socks, you might want to either pin the socks or make bigger blockers out of e.g. cardboard.
See post 3 in the Question thread for sample photos.
A side view of both socks laying flat, next to each other, both toes must be facing RIGHT.
A second side view of both socks laying flat, next to each other, both toes facing LEFT.
A front view of both socks lying flat next to each other.
A back view of both socks lying flat next to each other and the heel pinned to the sole so we can see the heel flap.
A close up of the back view in photo 4, but this time the heel needs to be pinned to the leg so we can see the complete heel decreases (heel turn).
A close up of the inside of the socks showing the double layered area, with counting threads flipped every 5 rounds.
