FO: Socks
It took three very smart people to produce these socks. First, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, who explained in plain English how to make socks without a pattern (in her Knitting Rules! book). Secondly, whoever came up with self-striping yarn that can be counted on to produce the same size stripes. No counting rounds! You could also count in someone at Michael's who discounted this yarn 90% so I just couldn't pass on the opportunity

The yarn is Patons Kroy Socks called Mulberry stripes so I played with the berry theme in the pictures a bit
