Toes of Socks - I
I have just discovered a new favorite toe.
I finished a pair of green Lorna's in a 4x1 rib. And when it came time to do the toe, I decided that it would be interesting to see if I could modify the pointy toes from Knitting Vintage Socks, so that I would not have toes that pointy, but could still just thread the yarn through 8 stitches at the end of the toe.
So I did a standard decreasing 4 stitches every other row toe until I had 8 stitches remaining on each needle. Then I decreased every row until I had 8 stitches total.
I love them. No kitchnering, and no pointy toe. This is my new default toe.
(Pictures to be added later when I find where the kitty hid my cable. He's decided that cords are fun to play with.. I'm trying to break him of that, and hopefully it takes soon!)

Ok. So. When will we see a pic of this new toe? Eh? I've got two pairs of socks awaiting kitchner right now.....putting off the inevitable here. Tell me more!! Save me from kitchner!!
Looking forward to seeing your pictures! The toes on my Gentlemen's Socks were way too pointy so I think you made a wise decision modifying yours. In fact, I am probably going rip my toes out and re-do them.
can't wait to see the pics!!! oh, the excitement!!
happy holidays!
