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!

Wow, these are beautiful. I love how you did the black stripes in between. I do "leftover" socks too: http://www.picturetrail.com/hnick Now you've given me a new idea, thanks! Heidi hnick@frontiernet.net
