These socks combine a few of my favourite things about sock knitting. They are fun and fancy yet simple enough to not be stressful or require too much concentration. They combine lots of colours in interesting ways. And possibly most importantly of all, they are siblings but not twins. I love a mismatched pair of socks that add a bit of whimsy to my outfit. Socks are not meant to be taken too seriously – they are meant to brighten your day, and these socks do just that!
