I made these socks from Sweetgeorgia Yarns Speed Demon yarn (which is approximately sport weight) in the colorway Viola. I got it from here (great service!). I loved working with this yarn - it knits up smoothly and the colors are dappled and don't pool.
My only (small) complaint is that owing to my large (US 10) feet there was not quite enough yarn to finish the toe of the second sock. I had a small remnant from the one other pair of socks I've made, so I just used that.
I asked my husband what he thought. "Well," he said, "it would have been cooler if both toes had that other color." Nice, but no dice. The remnant was insufficient for both toes. And I didn't want to dip into a full skein of something else to have matching toes for this pair, only to cause the same problem down the line. And it goes without saying that ripping both socks and making them shorter was out of the question.
Have you seen those shoes where they are mated but not matched? Look here. And so I have socks from the Camper school of design. Sort of.
Later, y'all!
