It makes sense to me to try out different techniques on each sock of the first few pairs while I'm learning what works and doesn't work for me, instead of investing twice as much time and effort in figuring that out. <br /><br />I am using the same yarn for both socks in the pair, just a different pattern.<br /><br />NikitaNikitanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17401386.post-22172703912432804022009-11-08T23:35:54.798-05:002009-11-08T23:35:54.798-05:00I like your comments on unmatched socks.

I actually start the toes at the exact same colour which means unravelling a whole lot to get to the colour I want to start with. The result is always pleasing to me, because I feel they look more "professional" but I am sure that many would argue that non-identical colour striping is the whole point with hand knit socks. That is, for the pair to look "one of a kind".Curlysheepnoreply@blogger.com
