ironymaideni've been poking at New Pathways for Sock Knitters, which is all about the idea that you can put the gusset increases anywhere you like as long as the increases are proportioned in a specific way.
it includes multiple toe structures, and a bunch of wonky tables and formulas where you knit a gauge swatch and measure your foot and that produces a set of numbers that you plug into the pattern. the only thing that i don't really like is that there aren't heel options, just slipstitch top down or toe up.
i did a tiny practice sock, and then about half of another and figured out that i could probably just do a Fleegle heel and it would be fine. it was. i've gotten through the heel turn of a full-size "riverbed" sock (gusset increases start centered on the sole of the foot).
i'm using a Crazy Zauberball that came fromphilotera's stash purge. i had to edit a bit to get huge bands of black out of the sequence (funny how everything matching is a hazard of random plying). progress pic in the previous post.
