Thrifty stripes and a pop of pink

Stripy socks.jpg

It's been a while since I've been able to take a "proper" finished photo. My last few pairs of socks have been for my boys and have been instantly spirited away once off the needles.

These are made with scrap yarn and I used a random stripe generator www.randomstripes.com to give me some ideas for stripe sequences.

In total these used 70g yarn (UK size 6 foot with 2.5mm needles)

25g Grey: for heels, toes, cuffs and stripes
15g Green
15g Blue
5g Pale Green
10g pink

Making socks with leftovers and scraps has to be the most satisfying thing ever

I had a bit of a rush towards the end as I've decided to try and end every month with a finished object - to try and give me a bit of an incentive to actually get things finished
