Inside-Out Sock

so, i've got three pregnant friends right now. and my newest obsession since i got my ITA flexiloom has been baby booties. so i made these cute little booties for my friend. the whole thing is done with the flat knit stitch. cute and simple.

then i decided to get fancy and try to use different stitches on a different pair of socks for another friend. on this one, i did a few rows of the flat knit stitch, then i purled the body, went back to the flat knit stitch for the heel, and then purls for the rest of the foot. it looked HORRIBLE when it was done! HORRIBLE!! the heel was recessed because the knit stitch was tighter than the purl. the purls looked all fluffy and wrong! it just looked all wrong! i was getting ready to frog it when i thought, lets just see how this looks inside out. and viola! a beautiful sock! with the sock inside-out, the purls became knits and the flat knits became...? i don't know, but i like the way it looks. i'm glad i tried something different, now!
