Evidence
...That I need to cast on for some more socks in wool/cotton/nylon blend...
This time of year right now is when I tend to switch from wearing my wool/nylon socks to my wool/cotton/nylon socks. When it's really cold outside, my feet are always cold and need all the extra insulation they can get, but as it gets warmer out and the thermometer rises about 40 or so, a little bit of cotton content helps keep those doggies cool. I'll be wearing my four or five pairs of cottony socks whenever they're clean for the next month or so - till it's time to switch to shorts and sandals.
I was wearing one such pair last night when I noticed one heel feeling a bit cooler than usual, and I found this:
A blowout! And, since I don't darn socks (I can, I just choose not to), that is the end of that. The pair went into the laundry pile one last time, and when they are clean they will go into my recently-started stash of blown-out socks, which I plan to save until there are enough to cut up and resew into something spectacular.
Luckily, I happen to have a couple skeins of wool/cotton/nylon blend sock yarn waiting to be knit up. The question is: which one first?

you should cast on with the yarn in the 2nd column from the right, third from the bottom.
you're welcome. ;)
I like the far left behind the devil's head, middle of the first row.
I also like the blue/green in the top right corner.
I say close your eyes and just grab a ball of yarn. They all look good.
You should use the blue in the top right corner... or the pinkish one in the middle of the bottom row :)
