Odd Socks
When we were in South Africa last summer, Martha and I bought some delicious wool. I had no idea what to make with my selection and it is still in the shed awaiting inspiration. Martha chose this wonderful chunky merino and made warm wooly bedsocks for her cold student flat. Does it matter that the colours don't match?
I don't think so...
the other hank doesn't match either
it is destined to become a hot water bottle cover. Martha plans to have very warm feet this winter in Bristol.
Very pretty socks. Lovely wool.

Love the socks ~ I have knitted one, and still have the other to do. I lost the inspiration to knit, but I can feel it all coming back!
Happy New Year (was in Hexham today and thought of you knitters!)

No it definetly doesn't matter, they are gorgeous, prehaps you should open a business - The Odd Sock Company.

I think bedsocks should always come in mis-match shades - I bet it guarantees exciting and creative dreams!

beautiful socks- they look so cosy! I think the fact that they're a bit mis-matched makes them better still.
happy new year to you and your family!
