OK - My editor wants me to include a "boot" sock in the book.  Apparently, a boot sock is like a legwarmer with stirrups and a cuff that folds over your boot.  Ok -  I got it.
Now the tricky part begins.  I figured out how to do a very cool looking cuff since that's the only part that will show when it is worn but it has to fold over a boot and then the wrong side becomes the right side for the rest of it!
I know how to do a purl row to make a turn row on a hem so tried that.  Nope - didn't work.
Ripped it out. 
Then I did it with rows of ribbing following the cuff but it didn't fold properly.  Remember, it has to go over a boot.
Since the cuff had quite a bit of purl in it, I tried knitting two rows for the fold line.  Yes!  It folds.
Now I did some ribbing to make sure the sock would stay up reasonably well.  Now came the tricky part - changing the wrong side to the right side.  I ended up just turning my work and working backwards and joining the round at the end.   
Now that I am past that part, I am just crusing along.
