Years ago I bought a lot of Koigu yarn when a store was going out of business. This was one of the first companies to sell handprinted yarn and theirs’ is still one of the best around. But what to do with a single hank of yarn? Of course during the sale all I could get was one skein in each color way. After all these years I decided that when it comes to socks – they don’t have to be a perfect match.If you have a good eye for color you can see that these two balls are similar but not exactly the same. I started knitting. Aside from the color, this is a lovely yarn to knit with.
One thing I did was knit the toes so that they angle more along the outer edge of the foot, I don’t know if it was necessary, but now each sock it dedicated to it’s own foot.
I ended up with two very different socks.
And then proceeded to have fun with my new selfie stick.
Left foot
Right foot.
Yes the selfie stick is a lot of fun. I need more practice, I threw away many photos that just weren’t good. As good as an iPhone 6 is, it really distorts a lot more than my real camera. So no, I won’t be giving up my camera any time soon.
I sure am going to enjoy these socks, even if they don’t look like a pair. most people won’t get more than a glimpse and those that do – who says socks have to match?
