Done! The BMFA "Rock 'n Weave" cuffed sock in Lemongrass - done! It is a tad heavier-weight than I had anticipated so I knew it would be a winter wardrobe item, but the cuff - while looking great and is a terrific design - makes it look sort of bootie-like. I gave them to Kelly to try on after I had Kitchener'd the toe (yes, I made them cuff-down, according to the pattern, instead of trying to adapt it to a toe-up version) and he liked them! I just had him try them on because we have the same foot size... I didn't even think to offer them to him because I thought they might be too "girly," what with the cuff and the picot edging, not to mention the lemony/greeny color. But he thinks they'll be great house slippers, so they have found a home. He's even picked out the buttons for the cuff. Don't worry, though - I'll wear them at least once as socks.
I did have a little problem with grafting the toe: After making the last "knit off, purl off," those last two stitches are very pointy. Need to figure out how to make that final step more rounded.
Photos to follow!
