Mixing multis

My current WIP is a pair of socks for my four-year-old. He loves his handknit socks, and since I'd just finished a pair for his big brother, he wanted some too. Big Brother's socks looked like this:

He had picked out the colours himself, saying they reminded him of the beach. He wanted yellow at the top (for the sun), then the blue and white multi for a sky with white clouds, and then the blue sea, and yellow heels and toes to be the sand.
When it came to Little Brother's choice of colours, he just went for the brightest ones there were! I keep a box of partial skeins of sock yarn specifically for making the boys socks, because they are an ideal project for using up odds and ends like that. I must confess to some raised eyebrows when I saw the combination he had chosen - Wollmeise Raku Regenbogen and Tiefer See - but alternating rounds of each one is making such bright fun socks! The first one is done and he's already nagging me for the second!

The pattern can be found in the archive for May 2015 here on my blog, or as a free pattern on Ravelry, Working Day socks.
