blue stripes

Another pair of mindless socks, albeit with a different heel than I normally use. This is the double riverbed gusset that I learned about in stage 2 of the tour de sock. I'm not quite convinced on how this heel looks off of the foot-the two different bits of the gusset have slightly different angles-but it does seem to fit just fine.

The yarn is das pair, and was way cooler than I'd expected. I bought it thinking it was just a typical self-striping yarn, but it's not! You open up the skein, and there are actually two 50g skeins tied together. They match perfectly, so my two socks match as well, despite there being no repeat of the pattern.
