Star-Toe Socks

I'm still not very well. I thought I would have this beaten by now. I think I've been feeling generally well for so long now I'd just forgotten how pants my immune system really is.
I've knitted myself some thick warm socks to wear in the house over the past few days. To try and break the monotony of daytime TV.
They would have probably gone quicker had I not knitted the heel on one three times. first short-row, then slip stitch flap and then finally garter stitch show-row. I also ended up knitting one toe twice. I ran out of yarn for the second sock and so had rip out the first toe plus 4 rounds of knitting to have enough yarn.
Anyway, here they are.



I decided to try a star-toe for these. Such fun to knit

Star-toe flat. It looks almost the same when worn and fits better then it looks like it would.

Details
Pattern: Cast on 48sts. Garter stitch heel over 28 sts. Star-toe.
Yarn: The Natural Dye Studio BFL Aran in aqua. 1 skein 100g.
Needles: 3.25mm DPNs
Notes: Lovely warm socks. Fit very nicely. Bit disappointed with this yarn. This is the second time I've had dye come out on my hands when using yarn from this company. It doesn't look too bad in the photo below but it was taken after I'd been in the bath.
