I think I like the randomness a lot. Two years? What was stopping you?

I used the crazy colors yarn for socks this year and really loved the feel of the finished sock. They really did soften up after a bath in the Eucalan (hope I spelled that right) and are one of my favorite pairs of socks to wear. I was even able to get the stripes to match up for the first time ever, because the dyelot was really well done. I can never get them to match with hand painted yarns.

Great socks! Isn’t it interesting how the positioning of stripes can completely change the way a sock looks?

I did a pair this fall using that yarn and loved it. The larger yarn knitted up quickly and the stripes are too fun. I agree about the yardage though, three balls is really needed for a pair.

Love the socks! I love mine in bright colors as well! No matter how hard I try to keep the stripes matched, they ALWAYS diverge at some point in the socks!

too funny. I have the same socks… er yarn. I started them a week before my wedding. I’ve been married 2 years and 3 months.
PS I’m emailing you… in case you don’t get it.

very crazy socks! looks like there’s no rhyme or reason for any of the striping, but it does give them character.

Those regia stripy socks always end up being long term projects for me too.. the random striping in this colorway is cool!
