Notes

These socks are for the Jan2019 Everlasting sock challenge - Scrappy Socks. I’m using 4 colors in the socks plus another color for the cuffs. I may try to find another solid color for the toes, but that decision is a ways off.

This is a plain vanilla sock on 64 sts with helical stripes. The first few rows were pretty drab and I thought the socks would be ugly, but after a couple of inches, they started to look a lot better. Now I’m wondering if I should use a different solid for the heel flaps.

I made the cuff and toe in one solid color with the heel in another (KP Petunia and Razzleberry) and on the 2nd sock I’ll swap the colors.

I didn’t weigh the individual leftovers - I just weighed the finished socks and divided by the number of colors.
