I was up early this morning and hoped to post about these finished socks, but MacAddict had borrowed the camera cable and I couldn't find it anywhere so I couldn't hook the camera up to the computer.
As you can tell, I didn't try to match up the stripes! I'm quite happy with "almost matching" socks. Yarn is Berroco Comfort Sock, knitted on 3.25 mm double pointed needles, 60 stitches circumference.
Many of the elann esprit socks that I knitted 2 or 3 years ago are wearing out and have been darned. I promised myself that when these socks were done I would order some more Esprit. Unfortunately they don't have any of the "print" yarn in, only the plain, so I ordered two balls each of jade, tapestry blue, african violet, ruby and grand canyon. Five pairs of socks, all for me. Love the cotton with the elastic in it. The socks fit so well. And I only have to cast on 48 stitches on 4mm needles, so they are faster to knit.
Just to show you some of the elann esprit print socks I have made, here are some old photos...
