I just added a comment to the Club blog, wondering if you knitted toe up or top down.
The socks are just perfect. How did you spin it? Was it divided into colour bands before you started to get the two socks the same?

I knit all my socks top down, I haven't tried the toe up yet.

I didn't have any method in my spinning. I split the roving into three parts and then spun what I got into my hands from predraft box.

I knitted the first sock from inside the center pull ball and another starting from the outside. I think that was why the socks match.

I'm really proud of the socks. They took 70g of fiber and I knitted the rest into my handspun afghan.
