the current socks

 I finished the first of the Gusto ombre-yarn socks. I decided to start the second one from the opposite end of the color progression - the first sock I knit from the outside of the yarn cake. I realized after finishing the sock it would be hard to get the second one *just exactly* at the same point (it's not like with a regular striping yarn, where you can do your starting stitch at the point where one color changes to another) and sometimes "a little bit off" looks a lot worse than "lots off" so I decided to start from the center of the ball on the second ball. So now I'm working with colors that "didn't make" it into the first sock, because it doesn't take 100% of a ball:

I expect the colors will "meet up" (like the old problem of the eastbound train and the westbound train and where they pass each other) somewhere around the heel.
