While I love to do color work, I've never tried using three colors. And now I know why - it's hard!I had every intention of doing the socks as pictured (except toe up), but discovered that working with three colors is nearly impossible for me when I'm in a car (we took a long car trip to see King Tut). So I decided to do the foot plain and save the three colors for home.
The two color work went well; but when I got to the three color section I froze and just did some stripes at the cuff. For the second sock, I got up the courage to do the three colors. As it was 17 May when I got to that point, I must have had the spirit of Norway in me, because I did it! It's not my prettiest or tidiest work, but I actually did it (and I can even get it on).
Thanks for a beautiful and challenging pattern Anni.

Great Job!
Oh, these are cute! WEll done!
Kudos for your bravery!
and I love the ruffled edging.
Those are very nice,
I started yesterday from the cough, it takes me a lot of time to knit with the three colors. But it is always exciting to try something new.

Great job! I backed out this month. I was looking for an excuse not to do this months socks because of finishing up school with the kids and needing to play catch up after being out of commission for about a month. When I saw that I need 3 solids, that was my excuse. I don't have any solids(I told myself I wasn't buying any more sock yarn until I finished the stash I had)of course knowing my last Fair Isle was too tight and I had to give that pair to my 8 year old,that was only 2 colors. lol I will need to practice that more later. Hopefully I will be caught up for next month. We are finishing up school, turning in paperwork and planning for next year. I have just about all the books my kids need, just a few more and I will be done, then need to do the lesson plans. Again you did a wonderful job.
I understand about getting ready for the next school year - did that last month :o)
I was just very lucky to have the three colors in my stash (full skein of blue, leftovers of red and white).
Absolutely amazing - all kudos to you :D
those are beautiful & I know what you mean working with 3 colors,can be painful at times !!!LOL
