Sister socks

Every once in awhile my sister asks me to knit something for her. She generally gives fairly tight constraints, but then wears the object regularly, so any time she asks my mum and I jump. This time it was knee high socks in a neutral oatmeal color. One of the hardest bits was to find yarn in the correct shade of neutral-neither my mum’s nor my local yarn store stocks it. We did find some online through Baa Ram Ewe eventually.

I really like how traveling stitch socks look, so I decided to design some knee highs. I’m really pleased with how the decreases after the calf look. Better pictures to come eventually, but here’s one of me trying it on to determine foot length.
