River Rapids

These are the socks I made for Emily for her birthday a few weeks ago. A nice, easy, straightforward sock pattern with really pretty yarn.  This pattern is called River Rapids, and I really love how the yarnovers and decreases really look like a winding river with little rocks.

At first impression, I thought the color repeats in the yarn were much shorter. I was a little surprised when this pooling started happening, but I really like the large color spiral I ended up with.

I love the color of yarn you used. I'm currently working this pattern - my 1st pair of socks.
