Ahh too bad about it being discontinued. I think sock knitting went through a craze a few years ago and is now not as popular.
My socks are not that complicated at all-- the main body of this pair is:
K4P4 x four rows, then
P4K4 x four rows, etc.
The fingerless glove pattern is super easy. I came up with it myself after lots of trial and error and trying to get too complicated-- found that this simple one worked best:
Size 1 needles
Wrist cuff:
CO 64
K2P2 for about 16 or so rows (depending on striping)
Body:
You can then continue this K2P2 pattern, or just straight K or whatever you want for about 40 rows
Thumb hole (basically a large button hole)
K1, Bind off 8, K the rest of the way around
K1, CO8, K the rest of the way around
Hand:
K2P2 for 16 or so rows.
Bind off in the K2P2 pattern with a slightly larger needle (I just use a size 2)
