The latest pair of finished socks are made from Koigu and Cherry Tree Hill. Why, you ask. Because I ran out of Koigu due to my own lack of forethought. I made other pairs of socks out of Koigu using only two skeins, but I forgot when I bought this yarn that I had changed my basic pattern slightly since then. Therefore, not enough yarn. What to do? Finish the toes with some leftover Cherry Tree Hill that really goes well with the Koigu. Even though the darker toes were not planned, I kind of like them.Tuesday, September 11, 2007

They look like you planned them to be that way...good save. Jan
I like the darker toes too. I sometimes like to knit my socks with contrasting or toning heels/toes/cuffs. And the socks look lovely. Must try Koigu one of these days.
Mmmmm... Koigu. I love them!
