Finished Charlie's socks made from leftovers of yarn from previous socks. They actually look quite a bit like a "pair" because I switched the yarns back an forth between the two socks. I threw in a few lines of color to keep up my own interest.
He tried them on last night and they are a tad short on the leg. So I am changing the "preferred length" statistic on his card to 9 inches from 8 inches.
As she left after Christmas I offered to make a pair for my daughter. She said there was no need for them to "match", so my next knitting project is to make her two socks different from each other.
[Non-knitters should know that the designs on these socks are built into the purchased yarn by changes of color and spots. I don't do anything to make the designs, I just keep knitting! Great looks for little effort.]

nice socks...i have a pair also made with yarn leftovers, sooo frugal and original!
Love the socks. I have never had a pair of personnally knitted socks. I need to learn how to knit one day. I always buy the craziest fuzzy socks I can find each year for winter wear.
I enjoy visiting your blog

Those are fabulous! Makes me want to cast on some leftover yarn right now.
Great socks! I love making socks and leftovers socks are a lot of fun to make.
