(Knitting) Basic Footie Sock

As the Archaeological field season has begun to narrow with the winter months fastly approaching, I've been filling some of my time honing my knitting skills. These are my second attempt at making socks, my first attempt (here) turned out a little small for my feet, and the original pattern of these where way too big for my size 9 foot. However, I didn't give up, I actually modified the original pattern in a way that allowed me to use the materials I already had on hand, instead of going out and buying more. Below I have provided a link to the original pattern (which is free) if you want to follow those instructions, or I have also provided my modified pattern that I wrote out for you and my future use.
