Striped Socks 3
These are just the same as the hospital socks, so not much to say here. I didn't bother to match up the stripes because there was an annoying number of knots in this skein so some stripes of the same color are shorter then others and I just figured it wasn't worth the trouble to try and match things up. Its not that far off until you look at the toes...

I hate when my yarn has knots!!!

However, in spite of the knots the socks look great. I like those colors together.

That's a crazy number of posts! Skeins with knots should be outlawed, very annoying.

Congrats! And I hate knots, one knot I can kind of understand, but anything more is just ridiculous. I like the colors in your striped socks.

Stripey socks aren't boring - they're comforting.
