DECEMBER 2008 WHENEVER STASHBUSTER SOX

The point of this is to use what you have on hand
Take a handpaint or something with short color runs
3 – 6 stitches per color
When you get to a specific color, you purl the stitches
I chose black to be the color purled with this yarn
Remember, the color above the stitch you purl, will be the color of
the purl bump that shows

This sock will fit a woman’s med foot
