i finished a pair of socks - actually last week already.
these are called mojo-socks and they are very funny to wear. i've seen a lot of mojos on google-images when i was looking for some yarn or other.
i've been wanting to use my Schoppel Zauberball - Durch die Blume for ages but i didn't want to knit just plain socks with it. so when i saw the mojos i thought they would be perfect. i really like them and i love the colourway - perfect spring socks. and it's not soo very warm yet that i couldn't still wear them...
i have noticed when i looked at a lot of other people's mojos that most of them were not exactly "real" mojos becaus both socks were the same. apparently "real" mojos have to be opposites meaning that one sock starts with the vertical stripes and the other one with the horizontal stripes. i haven't researched it or anything so i don't know about the "real" or not "real" thing but i liked the idea and the couple of pairs that i saw that way looked nice so i did it that way too.
i followed this pattern - it is in german but i'm sure there are plenty of english ones to find on the internet. (i didn't continue the stripe pattern on the sole though.)
now i have to decide which yarn to use for my next pair but i guess i should finish the ones i have on the needles for my husband first. as for my next pair i guess i will just close my eyes and grab a ball. i love all of my sockyarn and i wish i could knit them all at the same time...
