I made these socks as a Christmas present for SisterInLaw#1. When I bought this yarn, I had no idea it would turn out this 'funky'. However, SisterInLaw#1 seems to like them (or maybe she's just being polite).

As you can see, I made no attempt to match up the color repeats on these socks. Actually, it looks like I worked from the other end of the ball for the second sock, since the color repeat is reversed. I think that makes the socks more fun that way. After all, if you're going to wear crazy-patterned socks, they might as well not match.
