I absolutely adore these socks. With the ribbing they cannot help but fit properly. They are interesting in their construction and they were a great deal of fun to make.
I used jojoland melody yarn, which is supposed to have soft even color changes. I am not sure what happened with the left sock, but I managed to run from red into blue in constructing the heel and then I ended up with a band of color change over the top of the foot. Oddly, I am totally OK with that!
You’ve seen the tree like bottoms in another post so I didn’t take a picture of that. I finished them at work today and I haven’t taken them off since. I just adore this pattern!
