2016 FO #2: Skew socks

There is not much I can say about the Skew socks that hasn't been said before.


With this pattern, normal striped yarns do crazy wild things.


Knitting the heel involves a huge leap of faith - even now, after having knitted two of these heels, I'm not quite sure how the turn occurred:


And I'm very good at maths!
  

After the heel turn, a bunch of short rows are done so that the knitting is straightforwardly in the round again. It was very clever! 


I love my new, crazy socks (yarn: the appropriately titled Opal Crazy in colourway 1901).
