These socks close 13 years of Sock Madness.

Once upon a time I came across a stitch pattern -- a colorwork stitch pattern -- that wouldn’t jog at the beginning of the round. And it even worked for a sock!
But didn’t for the second. So I spent couple of years searching and seeking for the ways to complete a pair.

• stranded knitting
• stranded purling or knitting back backwards
