Green-Blue-Orange

My first knee high socks, knitted toe-up. I didn´t follow a particular pattern but checked several tutorials and then figured out what to do while I was knitting the first sock. I used several new-to-me techniques like knitting the socks toe-up, knitting jogless stripes in the round, afterthought heels (I did these before, I just didn´t know what they were called) and Italian cast-off. At the top, I weaved in some orange elastic thread, so hopefully they will stay up!
