the heel less socks are literally minutes off the needles, i triumphantly finished off the toe and put the second one with the first to be folded and put somewhere safe for photographing before i start my shift tomorrow only to find that the two socks are completely different colours. one is a combination of rich shades or black blue and purple, the other looks like it's been through a bleach/boil wash in the machine a time or two, oops! all i can say is i'm glad they're only going to be walking socks so it's unlikely they'll be seen outside or walking boots or my winter boots.
