I have attempted to get better pictures in sunlight with no flash. The colors are still not perfect. Everything is about right except what appears as light blue is actually a deep teal green. They are also unblocked, because I don't have sock blockers this small.
Details about the project - Tropical Punch Socks - are in the entry directly below this one.
Pattern: Sleepy Eyes Tipsy Sock Pattern (free pdf)
Designer: Gina House
Yarn: Vesper Sportweight yarn in Tropical
Needles: Addi turbo size 3US/3.25mm - 2 circulars
I love this pattern! I hope to get a better photograph outdoors if I can get something besides rain or overcast skies. This pattern is great for variegated yarn. I modified a couple of things. I began with 3 rows of stockinette and a purl row (to stop the roll) before beginning the pattern. I also replaced the standard heel flap with the Fleegle Heel which I talked about at length in this post. This is a very nice fitting heel, and no picking up stitches around the flap - woot! These socks are also my second Christmas gift completed. (The Kauni Shawl is the first, but still needs blocking.) We won't discuss how many there are to go.
I had a little help as I finished up the second sock this evening. There is a fun group on Ravelry called Knitted Furmiliation. People post pics of their dogs and cats modeling knitted items. Who can resist that? Winston succumbed to his fate.
