2025 pair #8 hot off the needles! The yarn is Opal Yarn in "Autumn Melody", love the way these socks coordinate as "sisters" without having to do the work to make them perfect "twins"! And just in time for this week's "stripes" theme for #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

LOVE the way this yarn worked up! It's called "Sunset Print" but I think it's more Alaska-appropriate for me to call these my "Midnight Sun Print" socks! 💗 Yarn is Drops Fabel 🧶 #RibbyToeUpSocks #sockknitters #showmeyourknits #knitsky
