Remember, I described the challenge of working with this yarn? How the sections of colour were too long so the transitions were not going to allow me to finish with a blue toe. That I had to cut out segments of the various greens to finally reach the blue.

The difficulty was trying to judge the transition segments so the colour demarkations were more blended. I didn’t succeed entirely, I was better with the sock on top – the first one, I think, than with the second. However, the recipient of these socks won’t notice any difference – I’m just being an obsessive perfectionist! The important part of the sock is the leg, anyway. Nobody sees the foot inside the shoe.

The next pair I’ve got underway is definitely BORING – an alternating pattern of magenta, brown, beige, pink stripes.

I haven’t reached the end of the first repeat which seems to involve at least 10 stripes – I’m trying to decide what I can do to liven up the colour palette. This is one of the Hobbii “Silly Socks” balls of yarn I ordered a couple of months ago – I’m not sure what I have in the “leftovers” collection that might intersperse with this to make it more interesting – but I want to do something!
