Breast Cancer Ribbon socks
Pattern:Pink Ribbon socks, by Lisa Lloyd (free pdf download from that page) with modifications as listed below
Yarn: Valuruguai Mimosa Superwash wool (from my stash)
Needles: Crystal Palace bamboo DPN's, 2.75 mm
Finished: July 2006, just in time for my sisters and I to wear them in the San Francisco Avon Walk for Breast Cancer
Modifications:
The pattern as written doesn't let the top part of the loop 'close' very neatly - it looks kind of chopped off.
To fix this, I replaced the first four rows of the charted pattern with the following:
Row 1: p14
Row 2 p6, k2, p6
Row 3: p5, pfkf (purl stitch, then knit into front of same stitch), k2, kfb (knit into front and back of stitch), p5
Row 4: p6, k4, p6
It stretches the top a bit more and has you do the increase a row earlier than she's got in the pattern, but it
actually 'closes' the loop at the top of the ribbon, which the existing pattern doesn't really do.
I also made two pairs with a single ribbon instead of two - this simply required 10 rows of purl before and after doing the ribbon cable.

Spiral Rib Socks
Pattern: Basic sock pattern peacock heel, kitchener stitch toe, with spiral rib pattern
Yarn: Colori Sock it To Me
Finished: April, 2005
Spiral Rib Pattern:
Cast on stitches in a multpile of four and do k1p1 ribbing for however long you want (for this pair I did two inches). Then k4 p4 around the entire circuit once; on the next time around k2tog k3 p4 then k4p4 around and around and around until it's as long as you want. The decreased stitch allows the rib to spiral without you having to do any counting whatsoever. Then once the heel's done and you're picking up the stitches to start the foot, increase one stitch somewhere on the top flap of the sock, and you're right back to the number of stitches you started with.
