Purple! Socks!

Columbine Peak

Who's brave enough to wear these?

I wanted to dye the yarn a lovely varigated pastel pink. Unfortunately, the dye had other plans. Wow - hot pink and LOTS of it...so I dunked it in a pot of blue. Hey, not bad (especially if, like me, purple's your favorite color). Although predominantly purple from a distance, the yarn shifts from pale pink through purple to medium blue, with little flecks of colorful donegal, just to make things even more interesting.

These were hand knit in a lace pattern called Columbine Peak, with a pattern of hills that continues down the top of the foot, and some ribbing on either side for stretch.

A ladies size medium, about 8 1/2" from heel to toe, and just about that tall as well. They'll stretch a bit, too. Superwash wool, so they are machine wash/dryable, although I always handwash my handknits, just in case.

I'll say one thing for them - they're colorful!
