The Best Laid Plans Of Mice & Men

Thanks to Sallee who told me to try typing in my post title before I upload photos - it seems to have worked.


When we left the latest adventure, I was, ahem, bragging on how the socks were going to match and, as you can see from the above photo, things were going well... Except.....





OK, what happened here?? How did the color stripe pattern of the yarn change? I was going blissfully along, turning the heel without any problems when suddenly the yarn on the needle changed from pink to WHITE! Uff da! There isn't a band of white like that anywhere in the first sock even considering that it would show up as a bigger area on the short rows of the heel. As the title says, "The best laid plan of mice and men... oft go astray"

However, you will note that the heel is turned and in somewhat less than an hour. I was a little more sure of myself this time and considering that I started this sock only eight days ago on the 3rd, I'm surprised at how far it's progressed.
