Got about two inches above the end of the heel. So, what to do? I happened to have some similar weight 2 ply yarn that I spun on a handspindle and plied on a wheel. I think the orange will be a lovely contrast. I am going to knit one round in orange, then purl a round or two, and so on. Might rib a bit. Thanks Rachel for the wonderful yarn bowl, it is coming in very handy.
I also spent some time yesterday dividing up a Sheep to Shoes project from Blue Moon, River Rocked. I have been sitting on the fiber for a while until I learned to spin sock yarn. I found the color repeat, did the math to find a total number of strands divisible by 3, then pulled the pieces apart. I think I am going to separate the color segments and predraft to get the thinnest single. We shall see.
What to do... That is great! Love those colors together, I predict it will work out just fine. The bowl appears to be the perfect size for keeping the ball of yarn from running away :) That sheep to shoes project sounds fun... Thanks to you for sharing.
