Made with Plymouth Sockotta Bold Stripe Effect no. 5612. 76 sts CO size US1 DPNs. Short row heel and star toe from Sensational Knitted Socks book. The stripes are pretty but this isn't my favorite sock yarn. It is too stiff.

Stitch and Zip Needlepoint Scissor Case. Kit number SZ 911 "Climbing Rose". I added the matching lining fabric myself. Scissors are from Knitpicks catalog.

These socks were made using Trekking XXL sock yarn color 100. I usually like my socks to match...but it was impossible with this yarn! I do, however, like the way the colors change through the four plies creating unpredictable stripes. They have a 76 stitch CO picot edge, size US1/2.25mm DPNs, Welsh heels, and Star Toe of 4 points.
These socks were made by following the pattern for "A Roll in the Hay" by Gina House from the book "The Joy of Sox" by Linda Kopp. I made them with Mini Mochi sock yarn color 104 Fern Rainbow. Although this yarn is ridiculously soft and squishy, I am not sure I would buy it again. There were too many breaks in the yarn to make matching socks.
