Don't blame these colors on me. DH picked them out - he also requested I not do the texture pattern called for. These are the Textured Fair Isle Socks from the little VK sock book, volume 2, and I think they're my 8th pair of the month. I used fewer stitches, 48, to get gauge using Gjestal Ren Ny Ull Sport yarn. DH plans to wear these to the Taos Wool Festival in 2 weeks.



I think an alien must have abducted my husband.Previously he would only wear handknit beige or gray socks with exactly 8" of K2P2 ribbing. These socks are quite a change from that.
