(Not) Wasting Time Socks
"At least once a week there is somewhere that I have to be, waiting for someone else to do something. For you that might be waiting for baseball, gymnastics or dance practice to end. But inevitably it is somewhere that the big project with beads, charts and patterns, just isn’t part of the program. An easy to memorize two row stitch pattern in a basic top down sock might just make the wait tolerable. No more feeling that you have wasted time! A Cuff Down Sock with an easy to memorize stitch pattern."

These are perfect socks for the knitter with some experience who wants to start knitting socks. The self striping yarn makes them look way more complicated than they are to knit. The ribbing around the ankle and the instep will keep them fitting snugly around your foot too.
