Here is what I did in March:
I bought this yarn for ME and after casting on twice realized somehow they were meant for Katie....
I might take the leftover and make some anklets for myself. I gave these to her for her birthday....These are my Trekking socks.....
I had never knit with it before and those of you who have knit with self striping yarn....There is not a single repeat in the first sock! I was stressin a little wondering how I would make a true mate....after finishing the first sock I cut off about 3 feet of yarn and VOILA!
With my amazement of no repeats I guess you can tell it was my first pair. LOL Apparantly it's "known" that there aren't any repeats. Well I don't know how much closer I could have gotten. The very tip toes are slightly off and that's it.
I am now starting a new pair of Trekking in a blue/green colorway for Mike. It's not striping like this is....more of a gradual color change. He wanted longer socks so the legs are 11 inches long. The 2nd sock is stalling me because its getting a little boring at this point. LOL
