I dyed the yarn and designed these socks at our last knitting retreat. This started out as 2 skeins of off-white Silja. I am pleased with the results. The stripes were based on techniques in the book Yarns To Dye For. Next time I will do even wider stripes. What fun! They were knit from the middle up and down from a provisional cast-on, with an unwrapped short row heel.
