Trekking 100, that is – the most magical of Trekking colorways. A few weeks ago, Carole posted pictures of her newly finished Trekking 100 socks, which reminded me that I had a couple skeins of said colorway.
These are definitely not matchy-matchy. I didn’t even try – in fact, I knit each sock from the opposite end of the ball. Considering that, I was surprised at how similarly parts of the socks turned out.

Wow. pictures of knitting 😉 Pretty!
Great new socks!
Never did succumb to color 100 and now I think I regret it.
Purdy socks and nosey kitties!
Nice colours!
No matter how hard I try, I can *never* match up my socks. I’m knitting a pair with OnLine now, and if it does end up matching – well. I’ll actually post about them!
I love Trekking 100. I have a wild pair myself. That Trekking sure wears like iron.
Pretty socks!
The solitary pair of socks that I knitted were in that colorway. Purty. 🙂
Yay, non-matchy socks!
That’s it – you’ll never convince me that there’s not catnip embedded into the carpet pad now.
Beautiful!
i bet they have that new sock smell
I like the visual yin-yang of the kitties and eerily matching socks!
Personally, I like things that aren’t matchy-matchy.
Wow – they really do look similar! Very fortuitous.
You know what – there is something about those colors & the way they stripe that don’t require them to be matchy. Love the colors!
Very nice! The colorway looked familiar and, sure enough, I have that in my stash! I was also going to cast on today for a new pair of socks. Hmmm…
Chris- They’ll look great with Keenes.
Ooh.. I love those! I always love socks made with Trekking 1oo.. one of these days I’m going to get some for myself!
Great looking socks! And totally stripey. I don’t understand why May isn’t all over them.
Great socks! Matchy-matchy like two black cats? Hehheh!
Fabulous! That is definitely one of my favourite colourways.
Trekking is probably my favorite sock yarn, but I’ve never used that particular colorway. Hmm. May have to get some now! They look great (and perhaps they taste great too??)
“Trekking 100”. The name makes me wonder why I’ve been cramping my brain coming up with interesting names for my own hand-dyed stuff. Very pretty socks, Chris! Obviously Chaos and Mayhem approve.
*love* trekking 100. One of these days I’ll even have knee highs!
Trekking is one of those weird colourways. I see it in the skein and think “meh”. Then I see it knit up and love it.
Very pretty stripey socks.
They look pretty matchy matchy to me.
But they are pretty-pretty!!
Pretty!!!
You’re a sock machine lately! Nice and cheerful — the perfect level of matchiness.
Pretty socks! They almost match; close enough anyway!
They must not be May’s brand of stripes though. 🙂
nice socks, nice kitties, what more could a girl want.
I love that Trekking colorway!
They really were close in some places – and not quite so much in the others…at first glance they look very matchy.
Not matchy-matchy? Call the doctor!! I love colorway 100 but not a fan of knitting Trekking on little, tiny, teeny, itty, bitty, weeny needles.
Now those are some great colors! Maybe you should start a cat modelling socks series, although you may lose a finger or two.
We put socks on Django the other night, it was quite funny, but they weren’t hand-knit socks so not really blog-worthy.
The socks look great, I love the color
I just love Trekking.
and the socks look wonderful Chris.
Very nice stripey socks!
