Socks

I customized the yarn a bit here – I eliminated the multicolored band after the first one just to keep the rest of the pattern more subtle.
I have a second ball of this peach color – I’ll get to those socks after a couple in other colors.

Finished this pair of socks last evening. I like the pattern created by the yarn but this time there was an interesting variation – the variegation was obviously planned for 68 stitches – that’s what I started out with and you can see the blocks of brown and light colour. When I decreased to 64 mid way down the leg, the blocks of brown turn into stripes. I’ve never had that happen before – the “patterns” have all been more general and so the decrease in stitches hasn’t made much difference to how the  overall pattern turned out.

Finished this pair of socks last evening. Never leave the needles empty – but I have yarn for just one pair in my stash. I have some leftovers – enough for some legs with solid feet, but I prefer to have most of the sock patterned. So it will soon be time to shop for more sock yarn.
