Need to close these socks

The Brown pair on the right is one of my hand dyed sock yarn The sock on the left is Regias Sock yarn the cuff, heel and toe are made from the dyed sock yarn I had 3 skeins of the Blue Regias .


Below I made myself a pair from the regias yarn. Okay green I think its my favorite color for socks for me. The green pair on the left I had knitted a year ago and both heels blow out so I took it apart and knitted on the CSM ... I'm happy that I was able to re knit it. It was knitted from a hand dyed I purchase on one of my trips to Fresno CA ..... The two green ones on the right are WildFoote sock yarn. The wide striped blue was left over from a sock yarn I bought from the Retreat in Lacey WA and the sock that has color around the ankle and above the toe is Knit Picks yarn that was left over.
I'm happy I was able to knit these sock. Before I started them I had a problem my yarn guide nut fell off when I was knitting. It took me awhile to figure out what happened. Couldn't find the nut... then the ribber spacer screw loosed and so I had two problems The ribber was to low so it was dropping stitches the guide was to low and making the ribber stitches drop. I finally got it to knit. .... Now I'm going to rest from the CSM and do some hand knitting that I need to do.
