A new sock start.  Woohoo!  Second time around with the "easy toe".  Like anything new, it was easier the second time around.  There's probably enough yarn to make 2 1/2 pairs of shorty socks from a ball.

 500+ 2 1/2 inch squares.   These were all made from the scrap bin.  The next time a slicing and dicing mood strikes, it will be probably be triangles.  Ive had enough of cutting squares for a while. 

Matching scraps could go on forever, couldn't it?  Taking photos in greyscale helps.  Especially when there's not a lot of difference in value.  😱

These survived culling and sorting.

So did these.  

209 pairs with pins shoved in them ready to be starched.  I'm no checking the grain on that many small pieces.  Starching the living daylights out of them is a much simpler alternative.
