Trekking Shades Socks
Yarn: Trekking XXL #107
Pattern: Shades Socks

Needles Used: 4 US 1.5 (2.5mm) DPNs
Another pair of fraternal twin socks in the Trekking yarn! This colorway was a real beauty, and fit in so well with last month’s Project Spectrum color triad (pinks, greens, and yellows) but I was only a few days late!
The pattern was simple and a nice fit with the self-striping of the yarn. The only change I made was to discontinue the patterning on the foot of the sock. This seems to be my preferred method, ending the sock with some nice smooth stockinette. Another pair of socks for the Nancy Bush Compendium Project!
…and to spice it up for this month’s PS colors…
**The shoes are Nine West hand-me-downs from my mom**






Hurrah! Now I’m really wishing I had frogged and made mine tighter–it shows the pattern so beautifully!
I LOVE those socks with those shoes, and pretty much everything you’ve done with this PS color triad. I was finally able to post a pic of one of my PS projects, stop by and check it out.
I love those socks!! The shoes are awesome too!
