Kindly note that despite the vivid language, this "smackdown" is nonviolent. But not without consequences. The losing toe will be [gasp!] frogged and re-knit to match the winning toe. This jungle isn't big enough for two Queens – one toe is gonna go!
The poll will stay open until Wednesday evening feeding time roundabout Exit 151.
Yarn Pirate, my excellent SP6 pal who gifted me with the yarn, predicted that one skein of Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in colorway Jungle Stripe would be sufficient for anklet socks. Sure enough, there's enough yarn for a pair even without contrast heels and toes, at least for my size feet. So the choice between stripe toe and solid toe is purely esthetic, rather than out of necessity.
Apart from the toes, these socks have another small nicety: mirror-image stitch patterning, because handknitters can.
Incidentally, my paid image host is becoming more restrictive and is demanding more shoutouts, perhaps not the best business model for increased consumer satisfaction. Maybe it's time to make some changes. Because, hey, it's a jungle out there.

FUNKAY!!! Really, those are fab and I love them, brava! I love the stitch pattern and I think the yarn works really well. I've got an odd skein of LL's two color 'stripes' yarn somewhere, so I may have to make a pair.
I voted for the solid toe :-)
I love those socks, I'm not sure which toe I like so I'll think about it before I vote. Blogger does its own photo hosting now so that might be an option for you...
