Each time I think I have it figured out which colors I’d like to pair for my Neptune High knee socks, I flip flop.
Current dilemma:
- Red and tangerine?
- Tangerine and deep blue?
- Deep blue and teal green?
Hey, you think that’s bad? I ruled out a whole chair’s worth of other color combinations earlier tonight.
I think any of those would be great! I lean to the blue.teal, but that’s because I like darker, cool colours myself 🙂
Comment by Jenn 10.25.10 @ 7:58 amI’m liking the first option the most – but that’s likely due to my longing for more fluorescent fall colors. Still, it’s a nice combo.

So, I guess that means you have to make two pairs, one red and tangerine, and one deep blue and teal green.
Comment by Grey Kitten 11.04.10 @ 5:22 pm@GK: I knit up a sample of the red and orange and found they were too close in tone to pop the way I wanted them to. I have to return to this project soon and knit up samples of some of the other options…
