I finally had some sock success. After the disaster with my Dublin Bay, I went on to somehow mess up the gauge on the second Chevron Bay baby sock. Then I went on to choose a totally incompatible color for my Monkey sock and ended up frogging it as well. I was beginning to think that I had totally lost my sock mojo. But thanks to dd’s Strata sock I am back in the socknitting rhythm. I completed these “plain vanilla” socks for my dd. I re-knitted Chevron Lace baby sock 2 and this time the gauge is correct (have no clue what when wrong with the other unless I through my tension off by trying to finish it in a hurry. And I have selected a new color and cast on my Monkey again. Now if I can just decide what to do about Dublin Bay! Just so you know, I deliberately mismatched my stripes on the socks. They look to ordinary if I match my stripes and I rather like the resulting color reversal in self-striping yarn.
Sock On!!
They look great! The colors are so strong that they don’t need to match. Life is too short to worry about matching your socks!

Love those wild colors!

I love those socks. I made some in that exact same color not too long ago. I did match my stripes, though.
