Busting the yarn stash - funky socks

It is about time to use up the Novita 7 Veljestä stash that I have. Colourful & happy-patterned socks are perfect for this :) I am still far away from really busting the stash but this is a good start.

As I was knitting these socks, I used a couple of new techniques I have recently learned, namely Tunisian crochet and the French round heel. I used Tunisian crocheting in the heel flap and all the way through the heel reductions. The heel becomes quite rigid, but it should last even heavy use.
