These socks were knit using On-line Supersocke "Walking-Color". Am very pleased with the color way.

The skein weighted 101 grams. Split the skein into two different balls by weighting the left over yarn as I was rewinding. (I like to knit two at a time.) After matching the color way for casting on, C/O 60 stitches on US #1 and knit 15 rounds for the cuff, 60 rounds for the leg. Proceeded with the heel flap, turned heel, picked up 15 + 2 for the gusset. After the gusset decreases and ending with 60 stitches again, continue with the foot for 30 rows. Continued with toe forming until there were 16 stitches left, kitchener it closed.

I wear an 8.5 shoe and this formula works for me.

I love them, did you math the colours or did they work out that way

 

[BarbaraBL]

Wonderful! So pretty. I wish I could knit socks. Maybe one day.......

 

[jadancey]

They are so pretty. And I really like your instructions, very clear.

Vole61, if you cast on at the same colorway from each ball and knit with the same tension they pretty much will match up.

Lovely socks!

 

[agilitybritts]

Great job and you made them to be perfect matches. Normally the self striping yarns doesn't match.

It is considered sock yarn. I purchased it from WEBS. Here is the link http://www.yarn.com/product/on-line-supersocke-110-4-ply-walking-color-yarn/ Sadly it is not available from them. I'm not a fan of ebay, but I think it can be purchased if you do a seach.

Not sure what you mean. You say you bought it from WEBS then give the linkto their site and say they DON'T sell it?

I didn't mean to confuse. I purchased the yarn from WEBS some time ago and was just giving out the information.

I just looked on ebay and found this person selling it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Online-SUPERSOCKE-Walking-color-at-a-steal-459-yards-enough-for-a-pair-1528-/231228776834 I'm not endorsing them, just giving you an option.

I believe that Little Knits sometimes carries the OnLine Supersocke yarn. You can look at this link. http://littleknits.com/yarn/the-big-sock-sale.html?manufacturer=166

The Walking Color is discontinued but the OnLine Supersocke company is always coming out with new lines and great color ways. I just keep going back to WEBS and Little Knits web sites for good deals.

Each time I have tried to knit socks that match I have found a join in the yarn of the second sock which has thrown me off. Very annoying!
Yours are a beautiful pair!

 

[Suo]

Absolutely perfect!

 

[run4fittness]

Those are beautiful and the colors look perfectly matched!
