Yesterday afternoon, I finished the first one of the Spot Check socks. The photo includes the remaining Koigu to show two things:1. that yarn is just as crazy as I said it was, and the sock pattern really tones down the crazy to something more reasonable.
2. the first sock used less than half a ball of the Koigu (yes, I weighed it) so I will be able to make the whole pair of socks using just one skein -- I will have another skein left to make a pair with a different background colour. I like this colourway with the brown, since it gives a bit of a 70s feel to the colour palette, but I would like it with black, too, I think (more 80s?) or maybe even something completely different.

Wow, a fantastic sock. The brown does tone it done, but also brings out the colours. Might have to try this with one of my yarns. Anita
you never cease to amaze me!!! They look MAH-VELOUS!
I came across your blog and I must say I am very impressed! You are Gooood! I have just taken on the art of sock making and I hope to one day be a natural at it. Thanks for sharing such wonderful works of art! =)
