And old joke from when I was a kid:
What's Black and White and Red all over?
A newspaper (black and white; read all over).
So here are my Newspaper Socks!
Black and White - Fortissima Socka #2021, which is a strand of white plied with a strand of black - for the heels, toes and a little accent stripe under the cuff. And for the body of the sock, Fortissima Socka 2003 which is a very very bright red. Love it!
And the flip side of those socks:
And for something on the very mild side... a basic grey sock (Fortissima 2057) with a simple black narrow accent stripe under the cuff and at the beginning of the toe.
I actually set out to knit this pair in grey alone with no accents.
I just couldn't do it!
Could you detail how you are knitting the toes? I knit down to either 14 or 16 on my CSM but your sock toes look different than mine.......
ReplyDeletePS I realize they are kitchenered, your toe 'shape' looks different than mine......
ReplyDeleteStandard toe. I washed and blocked before photos - maybe just seem different from that.
DeleteThe basic grey and red socklooks good for casual use.
