Flashback CRAFT Pattern: Parsimonious Toe Up Socks

By Kristin Roach

parsimonious – /adjective
Characterized by or showing parsimony; frugal or stingy.

And that is how I feel about my sock yarn – especially hand dyed sock yarns. I had less than a full skein of four different sock yarns that I had dyed myself. I wanted to use them to make a pair of socks, so I opted to use a slip-stitch pattern that would make a nice color work design while not having to carry several colors at once, thus saving even more yarn for me to use to make my socks longer.
