Handspun and handknitted socks

Close up of Navajo plied, multicolored yarn in sock 
Detail of joined ends as design feature 
Socks knitted from stash and left over from men's jersey 
Original socks - note the much mended heels and toes.  These were one of the very first pairs knitted for Mr Handspinning who swore "he didn't need any more socks" and they had to be prised from his feet to wash them !  
Another pair of mens socks knitted from odds and ends in the stash - these ones featured  wool from Mr Handspinning's very own spinning efforts - slightly chunky but more knittable than my first spinning efforts 
Joined ends as a trim - just make sure you join them all in the same place 
Multi-colored sock, from mix of colors blended together before spinning and Navajo plied  - see how the  colors are much brighter
