I was wrong. I’ve knit seven pairs of Dorothy’s Slip Stitch Spiral Knit Socks.
Pair #6 using a solid Knit Picks Stroll fingering weight yarn in Peapod plus the Easter Egg dyed yarn and the rest of the red/white/black self-striping yarn.
I tried to alternate the red/white/black and the peapod yarn to the tip of the toe. You can see on one of the socks that I ran out before the end of the toe and just used the peapod to finish it.
Love these socks.
SSSK Socks #7 use a new purple self-striping yarn, the rest of the blue self patterning yarn from here and here and here along with the rest of the Easter Egg dyed yarn.
In fact I ran out of the blue and finished the second sock with some of the Trekking XXL yarn from these socks.
It’s not crucial for the striping to match with this particular pattern but it almost happened. Unintentionally, of course.
They are great socks! I love how you mix all the various self striping yarns together! I am still working on my pair – a little behind as I should have finished the second sock in October, but I am around the heel so it should go fast now. Just using one yarn, though, lol. They are fun to knit!
