Not Socks

My kids love socks that don'’t stick out above their sneakers at all--they call them "not socks!" So here is a pair of them, knit in the Trekking xxl on a size 2 circular. Despite my very deliberated attempts (thank you, sockbug), I could not get these to be identical--notice how the tops are the same, and then it is somewhat downhill from there!). The pattern is Alison's anklet, a free pattern available on her blog, http://alison.knitsmiths.us/.

Since I missed the February sock-of-the-month deadline, this pair count as my March socks. I found a skull pattern at Mag
Knits, and I am thinking of putting the skull on the instep of the anklet for my son. I am not sure if that is next up in the sock department, or Jaywalkers Or Yoga Socks: I can't quite decide!
