I almost decided to knit these all red, until I found the blues yarn. <BR/><BR/>Sharon, it's funny you should say that. I used to like only muted colors too, but have really branched out a lot since I got into fibers and textiles. Actually, my eyes are hungry for some bright color, especially after working for so long with the Shetland naturals. <BR/><BR/>Sue, you're close. The blue yarn stripes are 2 rows each, which is when the yarn changes pattern. The red stripes are a little more varied. The first red stripe is 3 rows wide, the next two are 2 rows wide each, then another 3 row stripe, etc., alternating red stripes. This isn't obvious, but breaks up the stripes just enough so that they don't look predictable. It's more pleasing to the eye, I think.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-14350411156239720122009-03-21T20:06:00.000-05:002009-03-21T20:06:00.000-05:00That is brilliant!!!

It's a good thing I'm far enough through my diagonal scarf to use up one skein of sock yarn.....although I'm a little tempted to rip it apart and make socks like yours. They're too cool!<BR/><BR/>Are you knitting 2 rows of red then 2 of the variegated??<BR/><BR/>The socks are great!<BR/><BR/>SueLife Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-45107708276933148142009-03-21T18:07:00.000-05:002009-03-21T18:07:00.000-05:00I love red and blue together.

Last guild meeting I wore orange and purple. My old-time friends were highly amused.
