Cranky Socks

Sometimes I just need to knit a pair of socks. I had a 50 gram ball of this ombre yarn. I paired it with a solid Knit Picks Stroll and quickly knit up a pair of socks. This is where I added the contrast yarn for the toe. 

Contrast cuffs, heels, and toes makes that 50 grams become a pair of socks. It's been months since I knit a pair of socks. That's crazy.
