Yes - multicolour tops on plain hose could be a bit of a shock but texture, and matching texture to boot, would be neat.
I have wondered about shaping entrelac -such as for a sleeve, by gradually reducing the size of the 'squares' by reducing the number of stitches.
In the past I have used reducing needle size to shape fluffy mohair yarn knitting, but for a hard yarn such as is used for socks that would not be so successful.
I just started a sock on no 14 (2mm) needles and had to pull it out and restart on no 13 (2.25mm) as the worsted spun yarn was too thick for the finer needles.
