I'm abvout to run out of yarn half way through the second sock in a pair. The socks are these.

I do not remember the name of the yarn, and the shop which sold it has closed down.

[Poll #927872]

Unpick the first sock back to about 2/3, use that yarn to finish second sock to same point, use yarn from chillis to give them both matching toes. Harder work than either of your options admittedly.

I was going to suggest the same thing!

though I went with 'abandon sock' in the poll, this would've been my pick, had it been an option.

I'd say that, but do the toes with yarn of similar texture to the main rather than from the chillis. But I don't knit, so what do I know?

No, it's a good answer. I'd kind of assumed the chilli-yarn would be similar enough to be OK, given it was OK for the chillis themselves, but it could be there's a better one. The advantage of using the chilli yarn is that you get a nice match in colour between the toes and the motif.

The texture of the chilis is very different, although the same yarn thickness; I wanted smoother pictures.

I hadn't thought of that! How stupid I can be sometimes. That's what I'll do.

Chillis?

How about using some other yarns and knitting something that looks like it was supposed to look like that?

Get one leg amputated, removing the need for the second sock.

how about stripy socks? I would take the yarn into another shop and try and match by eye: Aunty Mabel went to the factory!

Really sorry about your recent loss plus the news about your friend.

Look after yourself

I wanted to say that we all love you too (even if we aren't as good as Colin and Jon, obviously).
