Down to Earth Socks
This has been a great project. Often I have design ideas that look wonderful in my mind's eye, then in reality just don't match up. This is one those rare times when it actually comes out as planned!
I started with sock blanks, hand painted them (more about that another time) and then knit theminto these great socks. They're called "Down to Earth" for the color transitions from sky, clouds, water, grass, soil and rocks. Take a look.

These are just gorgeous. I found you via Flickr, where I saw these socks- you did a fantastic job with the dyeing here.
These are amazing. I would love to see how you dyed this yarn...off to look at the previous posts to see if you show us!
Those are awesome!!! I adore the colors and the progression.
These socks are fantastic! I do love the color transitions. Don't you love it when a plan comes together so well?
These are just beautiful. I love the way your my floats over them, sometimes to the sky and other times to the earth.
all I can say is AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL....and practical
I love them, JanKnit!! I must admit, I have seen many pairs of socks and most I find to be "ok". These are my favorites!! What handdyed yarn did you use? : )
