Because the blue and white reminds of of Delft tiles. And the green toes? Well, look!

a note on the yarn, and it’s not criticism!

There’s so much excess indigo in the yarn that I’m turning the white stripes light blue while knitting…. The colour bled even more when I gently soaked them. However, a quick spin in the washing machine’s gentle cycle mostly revived the white

Still love it!
