Pattern: Wendy’s Toe-Up/Cat Bordhi’s Riverbed master pattern for the arch, with feather-and-fan on the ankles. Yarn: Opal Cotton (#2505) — cotton, polyamid, woolblend, about 80% of one ball. Method: Knitting Completed: August 19, 2009. |
This was a standard travel sock project. The pinks are very very pink, but the total effect seems pleasant rather than overpowering. I used feather-and-fan in the ankle to introduce some waving (to reduce the striping effect).

Although fraternal, the striping/colour shifting is muted enough that they don’t seem garishly out of line with each other. |
