Socks for me. These are my blue box sox--top down, heel flap, self-striping yarn, nothing but miles of stockinette to the wedge toe. The only geeky knitting bits are the kitchner stitch to close 'em and the Zimmerman arch shaping. Love it love it love it--makes my feet look narrower and makes the socks fit better. Gareth the hub-unit has lily feet with arches you could drive a truck under. Mine are just very three-d, with deep heels, wide balls, and highish arches that make boot-buying an adventure.
