I am thinking sock camp.
This sock is the prototype.
"Little Boy Blue."
Worsted weight yarn.
# 6 double pointed needles.
CO 24 stitches
K2, P2 for 10 rows
K 4 rows.
Place 12 stitches on a holder.
12 heel stitches: k 1 row, p1 row for 9 rows.
Turn heel:
Row 1: K6, K 2 tog, k1, turn.
2: Sl 1, P1, P 2 tog, P 1, turn.
3; Sl 1, K2, K2 tog, K1, turn.
4: Sl 1, P3, P 2 tog, P1, turn.
5: Sl 1, K4, K 2 tog, turn
6: Sl 1, P4, P 2 tog.
K 6.
Pick up & knit 7 stitches on the edge of the heel.
K 12 instep stitches.
Pick up & knit 7 stitches on the opposite heel edge.
Knit 3 stitches from needle one.
Add 3 stitches to needle three.
Needle 1 = 10 stitches.
2= 12 stitches
3= 10 stitches
Mark the midpoint of the heel.
Knit a round.
Needle 1: Knit to last three stitches, K 2 tog, K 1.

Repeat the 2 rows until 24 stitches remain.
Knit 5 rows.
Toe decreases:

2: K 1, S1, K 1, PSSO; knit to last 3 stitches, K 2 tog, K 1.

I KNOW this is going to be perfectly easy when we do it together in person, but...uh...I guess I would rather "turn a heel" than "turn an ankle."
BTW, what size person, or should I say, what size blue little boy would this fit?
I am RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND wearing the cozy socks you knitted for me. Just wanted to thank you.
Jame, I bet they wouldn't fit MY blue little boy. How many skeins would that take???
Sock camp. What a wonderful idea. My fear of knitting socks is banished by your verse. Maybe just maybe I'll have the courage I need to do what I thought I could not do: "turn a heel," "toe decrease," and point my double-pointed needles in the direction of a finished, hand-knit sock!
