Socks are still socking (midwest.social)

Still making progress on my socks. I’m planning to knit with the main color until it runs out. If it’s long enough to start the cuff, I’ll switch to the pink and do that.

If I run out of the main before it’s long enough, I’m trying to decide what other color I could use to make a contrast stripe before starting the pink cuff. I have some dark blue but wonder if using a dark color will change the vibe of these socks. I’ll just have to wait and see.

Green is a good idea. Luckily I finished them with 13 g of yarn left so I didn’t need to add a 3rd color.
