These are
Slippery socks from Knitty.com. Yarn used was one ball of Opal in the "Feeling" colorway. Directions are for DPNs but I used two #1 circs instead. Here's some pics of sock number one. I seem to have hardly used any yarn from the ball at all, so I may attempt to match up the color bands. However, the red stripe seems to vary a lot in the spacing, it seems to be longer than the other color bands sometimes, so we'll see. If I end up doing too much frogging then the mismatch will be 'a feature'.
