I continued to work the Herringbone pattern on the sole of the foot in order to have the same appearance on the foot as on the leg. Working the sole in simple stockinette yielded a totally different color scheme in the Herringbone section on the upper foot and didn’t look right.

The nasty carpet bucks seem to have attacked the beautiful Shibui, I found about four nabbled parts while winding the yarn. This means that there are quite some loose ends which have to be woven in at the end… sigh.
