Notes:

These were meant to be done for the 4th of July.  However, I didn't quite make it.  There were still fun to knit.  I have to admit that the Yarn Bee Yarn is a little splitty, so I had to be careful when slipping my heel stitches.  Still I loved the way they turned out.

I used Susan B. Anderson's sock recipe from her blog for my heel numbers.

I knit 16 rounds for the cuff; 50 rounds for the leg; and 70 rounds for the foot.  Next time I'll try 60 rounds for the leg and 75 for the foot.  They fit well but are just a touch snug and I'd like a little taller leg.
