Self-striping

These are my first socks with the amazing self-striping variety of sock yarn. I keep buying colors I like, thinking they will stripe, and they turn out to be variegated. This yarn, however, had a repeating pattern that was easy to solve and line up when making a pair of socks.

I was determined to make socks that match, identical socks, not fraternal. My plan would have worked, too, if it wasn't for a little extra white, green, and blue on the toe. The heel and gusset match up almost perfectly, with one skinny pink line along the edge of each heel flap. As my knitting friend say, no one will notice because it's down in your shoe anyway.
