Well, no one, actually.These socks are knit with Austermann Step sock yarn, with aloe and jojoba oil right in the yarn. The yarn was a dream to knit with, and the socks are comfy to wear. The colors remind me of mixed berry sherbet — all except for the BROWN spots throughout. ??? I just don't get that color combination at all. It looks like someone spilled coffee on my socks ( not that I would personally know what that actually looks like, you understand.)
Oh, well — they are so nice to wear, I'll just hide them beneath tall shoes and long pants.
And we'll just keep this coffee stain business to ourselves, OK? But if I ever visit the Austermann yarn factory spinning room, I'm gonna look for those messy coffee drinkers!
Here's the knit-in stitch marker for these socks. (It's a lampwork glass bead with a gold frog and a Swarovski crystal. All berry colors — no brown!)

You know, I think if you hold your mouth right, have the perfect number of stitches, and maintain the ideal gauge, those spots line up to spiral around the sock.
Yeah, I don't live in a dream world either. ;)
Perfect yarn for gloves!!! Won't show the coffee stains.
