More stripes

I made another pair of these scrap socks to use up some of the little balls of yarn that I accumulate. I need to come up with some other idea because I'm getting tired of the stripe thing. I'm thinking maybe some kind of slip stitch design or just trying to match up some of the colors and knit 2 socks at a time doing longer stripes in co-ordinating colors.

My Christmas knitting is on track. I did a pair for my mom in Kroy Jacquards in a denim colorway. This is the third pair of socks I've done with that yarn and I still have another 2 balls of the colorway left! I must have really fallen in love with it the day I made that purchase! I still need to finish a pair for a co-worker yet that are in shades of pinks and purples. She said she liked bright colors!

Hawaiian Lei

This is the Sock of the Month Club sock from theKnitter.com for September 2005 and I love it. It's called Hawaiian Leis designed by Adrienne Fong and the yarn is Trekking XXL in color number 106 called Pastel. I really like Trekking XXL yarn and this colorway is gorgeous although I'm part way into the second sock and still can't see that there is any repeat. The pattern looks really difficult but was quite easy to do. I do have to admit that I cheated and turned the heel in my own way instead of following the pattern though.
