Stripey Progress
One stripey sock down, one half more to go.
I've been using the stripes in this yarn as a sort of pattern guide. For example, there are 2.5 stripe repeats before the heel starts. It comes out to be about 8 1/2 inches. Then the heel begins exactly with the start of the next stripe. I think I did something similar with the toe. I follow a sock pattern, but kinda tweak it a bit so it works with the stripes.
This way, for the second sock, I can just keep track of the color repeats and not really measure. so convenient! especially for subway knitting, no tape measure necessary.

Convenient indeed, and what a great colorway.

Very pretty socks. I love the stripes and what a great way to keep track without having to drag a bunch of stuff around with you.
