Two fruity, woolly, bundles of fun.
These socks went everywhere:
I can't remember the last time I had this much fun knitting a pair of socks. They were by far the most popular bar/choir knitting I've had in a long time. I love how bright and clean the colors are.
I usually don't bother cutting my yarn so that self striping socks match, because I really don't care that much. But I did try to start the second sock at the same point in the yarn as the first, since these are for someone else. And if I only knit one pair of perfectly matched striped socks in my life, at least they're watermelons. I ended up being off by about half a round or so, I think, which is pretty darn good.
Hopefully their recipient is as charmed by them as I am!
