More Left-Overs (Tweedish)

MsB from Socks Made On 88

Great way to use up similar yarn as these which I call, Tweedish!  More of our Left-Over sock pairs!

Deranged, Part 2

History of our new named left-over socks, Deranged!  We wanted to make more left-over socks, and come up too with something different.  We needed a name unique to us.  So being familiar with the crazy socks, and kids wearing a different coloured sock as a pair I wanted a name somewhat similar to them.  What better way to find a name than go to "Roget's Thesaurus" and type in the word "crazy".  I started to read the word selections out loud and both MrB and I said yup, "Deranged" they are!  I came up with the concept of having 4 or more the same size and then the customer can pick which 2 socks he or she wants to make his or her individual pair.  I love this idea, but then I am off the wall sometimes and everyone else may not agree with me.  We have made our first "Deranged" selections in a woman's size 8 so that if the idea does not fly they will be mine!  I am very cool with wearing socks that do not match.  I have already done that once at the market and got lots of comments but that was on me, will they themselves go that far to buy a very unique not-matched-at- all pair!  Well we will soon find out.  We are hoping to debut our Deranged Left-over socks this Saturday at the market.  We have requests for other sizes we will certainly make them.  It's an excellent way to use of all the left-over yarn and they are easier for MrB to knit also as he does not have to worry about getting each sock similar in colour coding and counting rows to keep them the same or near same!  DERANGED... here we come!
