Regia Self-Striping Socks

Here is my first pair of socks. I used Regia self-striping jaquard 75% wool 25% nylon yarn. The color has since been discontinued. I used US#2 Crystal Palace double point needles. I learned the hard way that it is a smart idea to mark your starting point in the dye pattern of the yarn when you are casting on. That way you stand a good chance of getting your second sock to match your first sock. I had to cast on that second sock quite a few times to get it right. I loved the yarn and the result. I was lucky to get the yarn on sale, so the socks were a good price as well. They have been a lot of fun to wear.
