Tis the season to knit like CRAZY!!!!
I mentioned socks that match but don't quite? Well, I just recently made a pair from bits and pieces of scrap yarn. The pattern came from Sock Art by Edelgaard Janssen and Ute Eismann. They worked it from the leg down, but I worked my own pair 2 at a time from the toes up and I didn't continue the pattern up to the legs. It was called "Stripes, Lozenges, and Spikes" although my pair is more like "Stripes and Spikes"--no lozenges here. I really like the spike part. I even mixed lofts of yarn. That is, I made sure that I maintained the same gauge/thickness by pairing thicker yarn with thin yarn, etc. Working with scraps like this also allows me to experiment with colors, and I get a feel for the kinds of colors I gravitate toward. Sock Art was inspiring: It seems to me, I need to expand my color choices.
Very cute! Making some right now.
