Delightfully witchy socks.
Kinda of makes me long for ruby slippers.
The yarn is Lovesticks Frankensock from The Sweet Sheep Self-Striping Sock Club.
I was a bit disappointed when I first opened the package at the garish colors. How could I have been so foolish! These are my favorite socks ever.
Knit toe-up on size 2.25 mm needles. Short row heel. Picot point bind off. And I'm as pleased as punch :-)
And I also just made it in time for the Sock a Month Knit-Along. Whew!
Those are SO! COOL! I was about the click the link to order some, then I realized it was from a sock club.

Beautiful! I have just been starting to plan for some purple and green striped socks, myself - no black though, just 2 colours combined in stripes - so I'm so glad to see how well the combo works with yours.
