Another Pair!

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

STATS:
2 Ancient skeins of KnitPicks yarn called Simple Stripes in colorway Partie. 
 (I think it was a forerunner to the Felici line)
#2.5mm needles over 60 stitches.
Simple stockinette
short row heels over 60% of stitches
2" of 1x1 ribbing at cuffs.
1 1/2 skeins used for perfectly matched socks

  3. Yes! Fruit Stripe Gum!!! Memories. I just wish the flavor had lingered longer. But I can see Sprees too, another favorite.
