water socks done!

I finished the water socks! Yay!
Their colors are quite washed out in the pic; not sure why......







Of course I went back to the wool socks with the black toe:
I do love wool; I bet that's one reason I love these. I also love all the colors in the varigated yarn (and I have NO idea what it is -- bought it a long time ago and lost the label.....)

As you can see, it's time to decide where the heel should go.....











So, quite naturally, I started this:
I have had this yarn for some time, too. My practice socks for the Olympics were made with this yarn.

I knit them a LOT looser than I know think is probably a good idea for socks, and now my conundrum is this...........

I much prefer the way the colors work when knit looser! Sigh. The following pics show the two sides of the loosely-knit practice sock, and I think they are a LOT more interesting than the tightly-knit toe above.

















I'm finding the toe pretty darned boring. Same old same old. Maybe I'm just bored of socks....... Sigh.

I suppose there's no reason I couldn't knit the foot tightly and then loosen way up for the leg.............................................. Hmmmmmm.
