The fun part of this Snappy Sock sample.

Helically knitting two different strands that look made to be side by side. This time the left sloping pattern integrates beautifully into the overall look.

Am I dangling the cuff of my smallest Snappy Sock in slow motion?
Yes, I am.

I have a bit of charting to do before getting to the fun part.

At last. A completed sample of my Snappy Socks' third largest or second smallest size. Yes, the toes haven't been grafted. I'll wait until I know that they fit actual human feet.

One more size, the smallest, to go!

Sample of the next to smallest size of my Snappy Sock design. Cuff, heel, and toe of this sample are a marled medium blue. Ankle and foot are striped gray and white with a sloped slipped stitch design.

The highlight of this knitting designer's day?
Working the last decrease of my Snappy Sock sample's gusset.
Woo hoo!

My Monday miscellany of recent photos

I'm working my way down the gusset of this #SnappySocks size sample.

I picked the last ripe blackberries. Not that many, but I'm impressed that there are any in September.
