These were my "oops I goofed" project when I thought I was starting a second tan-and-mostly-blue sock to match the first one I made, but realized a couple inches in that I'd grabbed the wrong size needle for the second sock. Rather than undo, I kept going and had fun with the colors.
As you can see from the heels, doing pairs of something doesn't come easy for me. Since I was making things up as I went, but trying to maintain some consistency (ie 11 rows of each color) I did ok until I got somewhere complicated like the heel turn. Oh well, I like the slight differences! (Look closely and you'll see the row count of the tan toe area doesn't match either)

I think they look Fab!
if you like 'em, wear 'em with pride!
Thanks guys! After starting with the Doeskin Heather (tan) and Mallard (dark blue), and knowing I wouldn't have enough Mallard to complete the *original* pair of socks and these if I went with all Mallard on this pair, I decided to stripe it up...and kinda felt inspired by some print we have in a meeting room at work (I should get the name), plus was sort of doing a lake/beach/grass/sky/sun thing I think? Overthinking it a little, perhaps?
