They're gorgeous but I can't say I'd ever recommend this yarn (if it's still sold). Says it has nylon but holes wore into them faster than any other socks I've knit.
Looks amazing! I’ve never done this with socks. Can you feel the different areas on your feet? I’m weird about feeling socks seams, and I’m not sure if I want to try this or if I’ll just hate it immediately.
😍😍😍 i love them!

Wonderful mends - shows what attention to picking a good mending yarn weight and just-tight-enough darns can do!
Having the darning yarn the same weight as the yarn I used to knit definitely helps!
Those socks are truly loved, well done! They look great
Thank you! They're not as comfy as they used to be (darns on darns on darns lead to some lumps haha), but I still love them.
Are those jaywalkers??
I don't remember, but maybe!
It has to be! Jaywalkers were the super popular sock around that time. I love seeing a pattern I recognize in the wild!
Probably was then! I do remember that I enjoyed the pattern and made it more than once
I think so too!
Socks!!! I love em gives them a lot of personality I think :)
I'm impressed!

Wear it inside out. All the seams will be out and the smooth part will be in. Even store bought socks seams bother me and I wear them all inside out
Pro tip! Thanks!
Oh I can definitely feel it. Thicker in an uneven way for sure, is regular sock seams bother you I don't think you'd enjoy this.
Thanks! That wont work for me, I might try it for my husbands socks though.
These are beautiful!
I love that all the mends still match the socks, at least thematically.

It's hard for them not to, my favorite color of sock yarn is LOUD lol
Edit: these darns also accidentally matched really well too
I was literally thinking about a hypothetical sock of theseus this morning after throwing out an old sock
