Someone please help me.

I'm knitting socks on needles that are literally no bigger than two toothpicks placed end-to-end.

There are four needles.

This is my second pair of socks EVER--the first pair was made last year on huge needles with bulky yarn. These are being made with something just a bit heavier than perle cotton.

Am I crazy?

At least the heel's been turned, and I'm decreasing into the foot area, but omg. And after this one, I have to knit another.

OH and to make this interactive: I'm using a self-striping yarn in pink, maroon, orange, and yellow. I think of these as Dunkin Donuts socks, though with the yellow they're more like Lifesaver socks. Or Froot Loop socks.

ANYWAY...

I started with orange and ended up with a yellow heel. Should I start from the same point again when I start the next pair, or should I deliberately start at a different spot, in the hopes that the heel will be a different color?

Talk amongst yourselves.
