I needed a pair of knee highs for my wellies. I wanted a color and "feel" that would match, and I found Opal's Harry Potter in Hedwig, but one skein was not enough so I shopped my scarps and got some creative solutions. Knit two at once on 2 Addi US1 circ, this process took a while. The yarn is fun to watch transition, so it was not a hardship..... for the foot I used a bit of Austerman Step left over from socks I knit for a friend in 06. I think it works! Now the only question remains whether to wear it up or folded down?

Great pair of Knee highs! I think they look best folded down :-)
Nice save on the stash diving!
I like them folded down.
How snuggly nice the look. Really warm and great! Perfect colour combo!
down! absolutely. Great socks: I always love scrap socks.
Such cute knee-highs! I love them best folded over :) Nice work!
Those are fantastic!! Love them with the boots. :)
Never have wellies had it so good!!!
Perfect combo! Enjoy!
What wonderful knee socks. And you leftover yarn couldn't have been better. How about wearing one up and one down??
They look good either way. Great work!
I love working both socks at the same time on different circulars. It gets rid of that awful Second Sock Syndrome, doesn't it?
And these are beautiful. Austermann Step wears better through numerous washings than any other sock yarn I know.
Happy Valentine's Day, Hila!
Folded down--you should be out on the moors or something. ;)
I just nominated you for a Kreativ Blogger award. Oh dear, I know, but you ARE creative. Check the blog.
Oooh! I love them! Folded down, folded down!!!
I just saw "the edge of love" and thought of you: look at my latest blog (look at the pictures) and you know what I mean. Your dillema about how to wear your socks is solved!
