Comments: Yup, still another pair of scrappy striped socks, this time in cooler shades of blue, green and brown. As before I striped in generous amounts of white yarn just to tie all the stripes together. As it worked out, the afterthought heel landed in one of the darker shades of splitty yarn which was a bit unfortunate. I really ought to plan these things a little better!

The white really does set off the colors. And I think both heels look great!
I was just thinking that it was nice that you had the dark afterthought heels......someday, I'll learn toe-up socks and make scrappy ones with all the leftovers (Lord knows I have plenty).
Solid finish. I like how they hug your feet.
I love them - I'm going to have to do this with some of my scraps!
I agree, the white really works well with the dark colours. Another great pair of socks!
