Notes

The color I am using is the one in the middle of the Easter basket.

3/24/2008 update: One sock completed. I purposely did just one sock to test out the yarn first. I like how Sock-Ease has nice long sections of the main color interspersed with short sections of 2 accent colors. This creates larger solid areas of color when knitted than would usually be the case for most variegated yarns. I think this allows the lace stitches to stand out nicely even amongst the relatively large contrast of the other colors.

5/14/2011: With the nice comment that col22 messaged me about the sock and photo I’d made, that reminded me that I still had these around. Originally I had made the single sock just so I had a model to photograph for a special edition pattern for Lion Brand. I’ve also liked the way this design had worked up in the Sour Ball multi-color, and since I no longer need to keep this sock pristine for exhibit and photography purposes, I am planning to work up the 2nd sock and use the pair for ME. Yes, something for myself!
