Wow! Nice work! I really dig that Sanquhar check.
I know what you mean about the curling problem. I'd love to be able to finish off a cuff in plain stockinette, but it'll just roll up on itself. Even doing reverse stockinette, making it curl inward instead of outward, seems like a gamble.
Here's one kilt sock I finished over the week-end (I'm currently about 25% done on the matching sock). Gairloch pattern on the cuff, yay! I opted for just a couple of rows of 1x1 ribbing to finish off the cuff, just to avoid curling. I probably should have stepped down a couple of needle sizes for that ribbing so it would lay flatter, but oh well. I also need to find a better way to increase my ribbing up the leg so it doesn't kink the lines and make it so obvious where my increases are.
This was my first full kilt-length sock with a turnover cuff. It ain't perfect, but I'm fair chuffed at how it turned out for my first try (and for someone who only started knitting 4 months ago).
