and Breathmint,
which I'm hoping will keep my feet smelling minty fresh! Though in this heat, woolen socks probably aren't so conducive to sweet-smelling feet...

Custom dyed for you? I am mixing in higher circles ;-)
What Tracy said. Custom dyed? I am beyond impressed!
They are beautiful! And perfect for today:-)
At the rate you're going you will be spoiled for choice come autumn!
Has G placed an order for a pair?
I too am impressed that I know someone who has wool custom dyed! You should run a bespoke sock and cowl online order service.
Those are so pretty! Great job :)
I've begun dyeing sock yarn with botanical materials, but the idea of requesting custom-dyeing is very appealing!
Its about time you knitted some socks for the menfolk in your life!
Scrumptious colours Kristina, and you're so speedy with those needles! I'm impressed!
Diana x
your winter will be so cozy!
They are the most beautiful socks ever, subtle yet jaunty. How about knitting some in cotton as well?
I am also impressed by the custom dyed yarn. specially when it results in such snazzy socks. Gorgeous!
I LOVE these socks. They take me back to my teenage years of munching mints from the corner shop near school.
They are beautiful.
Kristina these are so beautiful!
I love stripey sock...
(custom dyed, eh?? well I say!)
You are brilliant! These are lovely Kristina!
love.love.love them! So cute!
Kristina, they're gorgeous! I adore the colors of your custom-dyed ones. I have yet to try knitting socks; it seems intimidating, but yours always turn out so beautifully.
