Rolling on to Sockland

 Isn't it wonderful when a thing is finished?  I love this part.  Socks are wonderfully gratifying.  These even more so, because they are scraps.  I wove the ends in as I went so that isn't a problem.  there only needs to be a tiny bit of judicious snipping of ends and weaving the end of the cast off in.  But I consider these done.  Well, substantially complete to use the technical construction term for 'pay me now'.

I left heels out of the mix as I was knitting so that I could position the heel in the middle of one of the 7 row sections but I might just leave it as is and go with tube socks.  I do have just enough of the various yarns that a heel is possible in either the dark green or the mixed skein.  This task and the decision on heels is going to wait for one big finishing day.

I did get the next set of yarns ready for socks.  Started the toe too.

These are going to be similar to the socks above because I am going to use 7 rows per colour section.  I am not sure why this works so well for me.  I think 7 is somewhere just after 'gee I've been working this yarn for a while now' and just before 'oh heavens I am bored to tears'.  I almost always recognize when I have the 5th row complete.  5 rows say time to count, so I do.  6 just isn't quite wide enough but 7?  Well, 7 says practically perfect in every way.

The one bright colour is just for a little punch and I am going to choose and then follow a sequence for the colours.  The plan is to end off with a bright row and cap it with a dark colour.

Its a good plan...but plans are sometimes best laid and then played with!  We shall see what happens once it hits the needles!
