I know I know, everyone's sick of me posting about these socks. But look! They're done! You probably never have to see them ever again (at least until they come up in a fortnightly theme ๐Ÿ˜†

Technically I tried to avoid such different colour pooling from one sock to the other, but as you can see I failed miserably. Don't care at all, they're fabulous, sometimes you just have to let the yarn do its thing!

Yarn was one-off hand-dyed, and the pattern is apparently discontinued although there's still the Ravelry page, and also @eve@artisan.chat found it on the wayback machine when I posted about it previously, thank you for that!

Pattern is written for DPNs but you can pry my one single circular out of my cold dead hands.

MOAR PICS!

They look great, are they supposed to be starry night colored or was that a nice coincidence?

Van Gogh vibes! Thought this too lol.

Coincidence! The yarn was a gift, someone dyed it for me in all my favourite colours ๐Ÿ˜„

[โ€“] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

They look great! I like the pattern as well as the colors.

Thanks! I knitted the pattern before but in a plain colour so wanted to try it with something a bit wild ๐Ÿ˜„
