Wacky, no? Wait till you see them with the heel on. See that neon yellow? And the two darker blue-ish purple-ish balls next to it? Those are the heel colors.

These are my sorta Turkish peasant inspired socks. Peasant, because country people always use everything up, and I have piles of little balls of leftover sock yarn. What to do? Make Turkish-style socks, that's what. The front pattern, by the way, is an actual Turkish pattern called Willow Branch. I think I'm going to carry it up the leg, which won't be much of a leg; I'm afraid I'm going to run out of yarn so I'll keep it to more of an anklet. Or maybe add more wacky yarn.

More gabble here.

...why?

I absolutely love how the red changes shades and how it contrasts with the blue (which looks like it matches your tablecloth nicely!).

Mahhvahhlahhs, dahling!

At least it was a "happy accident" and you know now that you'd have run out of yarn. (Yes, Bob Ross rears his fuzzy head)
