I'm still working on the written pattern for these. But I think I need a snazzier name than "Textured Socks"! The textured stitch gives the self-striping yarn a muted or air-brushed look. I can't wait to try it on a solid to see how it looks. I used Trekking (XXL) in color 108. The stripe does not repeat very often so I got almost to the toe of the first sock before the repeat, so I broke off and started the second sock so the two socks would at least be similar. In looking at the photo; however, it does not seem to be an exact repeat. If I keep moving my feet when I'm wearing them - no one will notice! Even so, if someone is that close to my feet to see that my socks aren't an exact match - they're too close!
