Now those are a gorgeous pair of socks. Do they automatically pattern that way or did you do some fancy “sockwork”?
Hi Vickie
Its a self patterning yarn. In the pairs I’ve done recently I started each sock at the beginning of the blue in the pattern. That gave me matching socks as a result.
In the past I took some of this yarn and cut it up to that I had piece of the blue and white, and separate pieces of the red and white. It was a lot more work but gave me control over the pattern change.
Here’s an example… http://www.flickr.com/photos/11285577@N04/2387258249/in/set-72157601589187490
