Our national Association of Guilds of W, S & D has asked for submissions for a Wall of Socks for some upcoming exhibitions, so I thought I would play around with some quick ideas. I spun this laceweight skein:

as a sample for yarn to knit the Multicolored Sockies from Socks, Socks, Socks, but the colour repeat was far too long, so I decided to use it for mini-socks instead. Here is the first one:

The colours are more accurate in the skein picture, but the green is bluer than it looks in either of them. I had to scan the sock instead of photographing it, as the camera is playing up.

I was thinking of making them into earrings, but they may be a little too big … they are 2.5″ from the tip of the toe to the furthest point of the cuff. I have enough left to knit the second one, so I’m going to do that anyway, then decide.
