You just start knitting. That's the beauty of self-striping sock yarn. (The pattern looks different based on how big your sock is, how small your stitches are, etc.)

Starfallz, I'm knitting a pair of gloves with Knitpicks's merino sock yarn. It's so soft. It's the only wool out there that's not itchy, and even though you can't wash it, it's worth it. Your stitches come out looking beautiful. I really wish they'd add some self-striping yarns, but oh well -- my gloves' fingers are kind of stripey.:)

Beautiful sock. You'll post more pictures when you're done, right?

But of course! :)

I'll have to try out some of the Knit Picks merino next time I place an order with them. I was thinking of ordering some WotA to make felted potholders for presents. :) I got a ball of some Lana Grossa stuff when I was in Canada that I'm eager to try next. Thinking of trying a toe up sock.

So, are you doing full gloves or fingerless ones?
