I took a class a long time ago for knitting sicks and they are still around here somewhere, still on the needles and I even started a second pair in a different colorway with both socks started at the same time (toe up) but I never did finish them. I'm so bad at staying focused on things like that. I've crocheted since I was a kid so I always tend to revert back to what I know better.

I like the two tone blue which is less dramatic than say the black and white, now they are awesome and yet classic in their contrastness. I do love also how your grey is toning down that variegated, I like the effect.
