FO! FO! Trekking 100's Finished!
After several months and many distractions, I finally finished my Trekking 100 socks! They are certainly wild and I don't think any color patterns were repeated throughout both socks. To me this is very cool and made the knitting of them all the more fun. If you like wild mis-matched socks -- try Trekking!
I used Brittany 1's and my own hybrid pattern. The leg and foot are 64 stitches around.
I'm so excited because now I can start knitting up my pink/brown Regia Jubilee socks!!
Very pretty!

Oh, I LOVE them! They're so pretty and unusual. I can't find Trekking anywhere. Waah.

ohh I love them, I'm a big fan of colorful socks and I end up wearing mismatched ones all the time anyway so why not make them like that purposefully!

Beautiful socks!!! They are so cool! I envy sock knitters, because I've never been able to get the hang of it for some reason.
Have a good day!

I've come to enjoy Trekking sock yarn more than any other self striping sock yarn, because although the colors are wild they sort of blend, rather than being a discrete pattern. They are very pretty! Wear them with pride.

AWESOME. I'm doing some Trekking socks right now too, and I love how you get colors in the socks that you couldn't even see in the ball. Fantastic.
I work at a LYS (www.commuknity.com), and I'll have to put in a word to order this colorway. ;)

Those look great! 64 stitches and #1's. Are those a bit tight?
I'm just posting because I had to post after Emy, since commuknity is near my school (my LYS when I drive 25 minutes away for Grad School) and I work at Full Thread Ahead, the newest yarn store in the South Bay :) Commuknity used to hold that title, I think.

Yours look much better than mine - mine repeated at the top of the 2nd sock leg, which is why I think they bug me. I might just frog that sock and knit it from the other end of the ball. Maybe then I'll finally finish them!
Thanks for sharing the photograph! I feel inspired again now!
