The colors look like candy stripes-
I thought of the old Fruit Stripes gum
but my daughter said it reminded her of the candy Sprees.
I think it depends on your generation! lol

ReplyDeleteFruit Stripes gum! I haven't thought about that in decades! Those colors make for pretty socks! And they match.
ReplyDeleteYes! Fruit Stripe Gum!!! Memories. I just wish the flavor had lingered longer. But I can see Sprees too, another favorite.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, mentioning Fruit Stripes gum took me back in time. . . love the socks and the stripes. Simple patterns really allow the yarn to be the star.
ReplyDeleteThey look great! Fun colours!
ReplyDeleteThey are just so fun! I imagine them peeking out of a pair of blue jeans near a nice warm fireplace.
ReplyDeleteoooh love them!! I have yet to master knitting socks... maybe this winter..?! At least that is what I keep telling myself, lol!! xx
