Pattern: Liivi's Stockings from Folk Knitting in Estonia, by Nancy Bush
Yarn: Jojoland Melody Superwash (red/green variegated)
Yarn: Fleece Artist Sock (light green)
Yarn: SRK On Your Toes 4 ply (blue)
Yarn: Malabrigo Sock (?) (dark green)
Yarn: Sandnes Garn Sisu (grey)
Modifications: shortened grey section above heel, worked wedge toe
Comments: Very long socks! If I were to do these again I'd shorten the top section before the colour work by at least an inch, and then maybe eliminate a band or two of flowers. Nice little knit/purl patterned cuff. Knit entirely from stash yarns!
