I've been hesitant to try the STR colorways with marked color changes because I was sure I'd get pooling. If I knew my socks would look like yours, I'd snap up a bunch of new colors.<BR/><BR/>I was such a newbie at sock knitting that I ended up with four skeins of STR medium before I even knew there were weights. The medium will make nice warm winter socks. I now know better and will stick to the lightweight. I just don't find the medium that practical (I have to get new shoes so I can wear the socks).Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18193884287824942150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21993336.post-37804485970726281592008-06-22T14:53:00.000-04:002008-06-22T14:53:00.000-04:00I think those spiraling strips are too cool.
