I knitted these from knitted fabric that I painted with a brush and then re-knitted. I wasn't sure what i thought at first but as they grew, I loved it. The yarn is not as I expected, it's better, and it has a natural 'speckled' effect due to the way the dye takes up onknitted fabric. Although I used the same dyes, I did NOT dye these to be a pair. I dyed them differently to see what would happen.
I knitted them on 2mm circs using my own Andersson Construction Method with the MACHII heel(revised) and a 1x1 gusset.

I love them! So pretty.
The colors are wonderful- so vibrant! They would be my favorite pair of socks if I had knitted them.
*sigh*
Beautiful yarn!
I like slightly mismatched socks unless they're very defined stripes, then I go out of my mind trying to get them to match. These are lovely.
Groovy socks. I have no talent for anything crafty. Your creations are always innovative and intriguing.
Super duper, Colin! Love them. Sock blanks are way too much fun to dye and knit!
Colin,
You are amazing.
FOr cool!!! I love these socks. Where did you get the knitted fabric and what did you use for dye?
Good job!
