Looking to offset “most recent posts”

Hi-
I’d like to offset my most recent posts section that I have in my footer to show the 6-12th most recent posts rather than the most recent 6 posts. This is because my blog already displays the 6 most recent posts on the index page and I don’t want it to be too redundant.

Right now it looks like this:

<div class="foot-info" style="width:30%; float:left; margin-right:10px;">
					<h2>Most Recent</h2>
					<ul>
						<?php get_archives('postbypost', 6); ?>

					</ul>
				</div>

Anyone know what I need to add to offset the most recent posts that display by 6?
