These started off as machine knitted 'blanks', long strips. I then painted both with dye. One blank i painted vertically, the other horizontally. You can see the result. I used 2mm circular needles, knitted alternately so that they finished at they finished at the same time. I used my own Andersson Toe Up Construction Method utilising the revised Andersson heel Mach II. The yarn is a generic 75% virgin wool 25% nylon, 425m 100g

Nice socks, Colin. I never thought about how different the effect would be just by changing the direction of the paint. I also hadn't thought about how easy it is to knit a blank by machine, then paint and unknit it and make it into something else.
Love the socks and the color! I have to ask which painting technique was used on which sock?
Amazing, once again! I admire your work and you so much, you are amazing.
Amazing the difference it makes in your application of dye.
Both look great!
Gorgeous! Which one is vertical, and which one horizontal?
