Trekking Socks

women's size 10
June 2020
Yarn: Trekking (XXL) color #160

I didn't try very hard to match the stripes because I ran into a knot mid-way through the cuff on the second sock and knew at that point that it would be futile to try, especially since I found another knot while knitting the foot of the second sock.

I've never found knots in Trekking before, so I'm sure this skein was given to me by a yarn sales representative. The samples are often "seconds."

  1. That is a nice soft color and I didn't even notice that the stripes didn't match.

  2. The striping is so random you don't even notice they don't "match". They are very pretty.

  5. Knots in yarn are so annoying, but gosh that's pretty yarn you used. I really like Trekking and I don't think I've ever found knots in it. Love the pop of orange (or maybe cantaloup??) in the yarn.

  6. Those are such pretty socks. I'm sorry about the knots but unless you look at the toes they look like that match just fine. And toes are inside shoes so no one will ever know! :-)

  7. Very attractive yarn/socks. I get frustrated when I find knots. Do you just use it as a join or do you a special join?
