Some Little Socks

While we're all still basking in the glow of the scrappy socks, I thought I'd share another recent FO, and another favorite thing to do with leftover sock yarn.
I call these "Little Socks" for obvious reasons, and I can attest that they are the absolute best possible thing to wear inside your clogs. (You do have Danskos, right?)
Pattern: mine (ish) - basically these are top-down short-row heel socks (Colleen, are you falling over yet?) with a short cuff - 10 rows of 1x1 ribbing
Yarn: leftovers. Here, Artyarns Ultramerino in gunmetal gray for the heel and toe, and Lorna's Laces, colorway unknown, for the body.
Needles: US1 dpns
Notes: This is the one case where I think a short-row heel really is warranted. Something about the way it fits in the shoes.
Best Thing About This Project: I don't have a photo, but I can assure you that they look awesome with my new red clogs.
So the real question remains . . . If I have all these great uses for leftover sock yarn, why do I still have so much?

Cute!
Cute socks! I coveted Danskos for the longest time (and may still, deep down), but when I tried them on they didn't fit my feet very well. Alas!
Great idea - I was just thinking about knitted socks to wear with my Danskos, but hadn't thought of making short ones. Perfect!
Genius! I can finally get rid of my leftover glove yarn
I get a hoot out of all the doctor shows that show the women doctors tottering around on 3 inch heels! In real life they're probably wearing Danskos. I'm a big fan of Clarks - that's all I wear, but I might have to try out the Danskos too. Red clogs - tres chic!
Another cute pair of "leftover" socks - too cute! And inspiring. :)
What a great way to use up those little bits of left over yarn. I'm afraid I'm going to have to copy you - one of these days =) Oh, and I think we need a picture with the red clogs. I mean, we are talking about red shoes.
Oh smart! What a good idea! Mind if I link to these?
These are cute! Why would Colleen fall over? (Maybe that just ruined her equilibrium right there...)
I really like those! Perhaps I would wear more socks if they were short like that. Also, I will probably need some Danskos in a few months, so thanks for the reminder!
