I was completely ridiculous about matching the stripes, and thus the second sock is actually bits and pieces of both skeins so they would match relatively well. It was kind of a pain. BUT I like stripes to match, it&#39;s how I roll. The second skein didn&#39;t start anywhere near the stripe sequence of the first, I wish they&#39;d be a little more careful about that, it would make my life easier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/DSC04018.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1008\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/DSC04018.jpg\" title=\"DSC04018\" width=\"450\" srcset=\"http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/DSC04018.jpg 450w, http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/DSC04018-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>These are the never-ending bluebell rib socks.

This one is ribbed and I am trying out a new-to-me technique: afterthought heel! I am interested to see how they turn out and fit because I don&#39;t really care for the fit of short-row heels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I am working on numerous other socks too, but I will photograph them another time. I am a half-repeat away from the heel turn on the second Bas-Relief sock and I actually turned the heel on one of Abby&#39;s rainbow socks, and a pink striped Jaywalker. I don&#39;t know when those pairs will be done, though. I&#39;m trying to bust a move on the rainbows, and since I seem to be feelin&#39; the stripes at the moment, I&#39;m hoping to get going on those for real. There is a lot more stripey goodness in my arsenal too, so I&#39;m trying to strike while the iron is hot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 0;float:none;height:30px;\"><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:like href=\"http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/2011\/06\/enstriped\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"standard\" width=\"450\" show_faces=\"false\" font=\"arial\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a finished object in the house.&nbsp; I know, it&#39;s been awhile since I&#39;ve finished a pair of socks, hasn&#39;t it?
