I've been enjoying reading the blog posts. I'm not as experienced a knitter as most of you, but I'm getting fairly good at socks, since I make a lot for myself, and now my daughter-in-law likes hand-knitted socks. After finishing two pair for her (she likes knee-highs) for Christmas, I'm back to knitting for a4A. This is a picture of the first sock for a pair that I started Christmas Eve. I used two strands of the yarn, one from each ball. I discovered that each ball is wound backwards from the other. I started with green on each ball, but one winds next into lime, while the other winds into blue (does that make sense?). So the colors flow counterpoint to each other. They look a lot brighter than they do in this picture, though.

Great-looking socks! I love the yarn you are using.
That's such pretty yarn! The socks look great. Do people know that they can click on the photo for an enlargement? Very interesting to see the tablecloth detail!
Thanks for the comments. I love the yarn, too. I actually bought it for a pair of socks for my daughter-in-law. Then I realized that it is hand-washable only, and she is far to busy to hand wash anything. She has two little ones and stacks of laundry. So afA will get the socks! (I'll make me a pair of single strand, too, so that I can see how the colorway is designed to work).
Sheri, what is the name of the yarn?
It is Knit Pick's Chroma, Pool Party
