Pink Regia Socks

In my continuing quest to make 2011 the year of adding more handmade socks to my wardrobe, I made another pair of toe up plain stockingnette socks using 2 circs. My Pink Regia socks on Ravelry

On this pair, I did a turkish cast on for the first time. Prior to this I've always used Judy's Magic Cast on. I have to say I think I like the turkish cast on better. For me it was a little easier.
I also used a tubular bind off for the first time. I liked that too.
C/O 16 sts. I used Fluffy Knitter Deb's Turkish Cast On tutorial. I thought it was one of the best explanations of turkish cast-ons I found.

Toe:
Row 1: k1, kfb, k to 1 st before end, kfb, k1
Row 2: K all sts
Continue increasing until there are 56 sts and begin foot
K all sts until sock reaches where the top of the foot and leg meet.

Begin Heel
R1: 1st needle (top of foot) K all sts;  2nd needle: (sole of foot) k1, kfb, k to 1 st before end, kfb, k1
R2: K all sts
Repeat thes 2 rows until 52 sts are on needle 2

Heel Flap (only done on needle 2). Do not work Needle 1
K28, ssk, k1, turn
S1, P5, p2tog, p1, turn
s1, k6, ssk, k1, turn
s1, p7, p2tog, p1, turn
continue K and P rows, start ssk or p2tog 1 st before the gap until 28 sts remain

Leg
Continue K all sts on both needles for leg until the leg is 7" or is as long as desired.

Ribbing
k1, p1 rib for 1"

For these socks I used a Tubular cast off. It made a really pretty and stretchy bindoff.
