The heel is in place and I’m working up the leg. I do find this odd to look at with the stockinette foot looking so large and the ribbed leg so skinny. But it should hug my foot like a dream!
My only question is how far to work up the leg. I had intended to use up all my yarn. But I have knit a quite a bit and still have a healthy ball left. How long is too long? I have very manly athletic calves and don’t want the socks too tight even with the ribbing.
Looking at this I got all excited about being almost done when I realized I STILL HAVE TO KNIT SOCK #2! And I really want to be done so I can start my rainbow socks!
Must. Keep. Knitting!

Beautiful! I adore knitting socks… This colorway is luscious! The second sock always seems to go just a tad slower than the first… Anticipation!
Yes, beautiful! I run into the same issue of length of sock versus calf girth.
Beautiful! I tend to make my legs about 7 to 9 inches tall. If you are worried about it being too tight as you go up, you can always add some calf shaping by adding a few increases in the back!
I usually compare my socks in progress with a pair that I know fits my leg, not too tight and not so loose that they bag. Maybe about six inches?
Love the colour! I agree with other comments about how high to go, he could try it on to decide?
Love the colorway! Please, tell me the brand of this yarn, and the color name! Your socks are beautiful, and I must now have a pair of my very own in this color!
I aim for about 7″ from heel to cuff, slightly longer than a 6″ DPN (if I’m too lazy to find the measuring tape). Seeing this reminds me that I’ve vowed to make my next socks toe-up.
