Swatching

I have been trying to figure out the best way to bind off toe-up socks. I tried several methods.
I decided to go with Grumperina's method because if it's good enough for her.... I also tried Elizabeth Zimmermann's sewn bind off, the Russian bind off, and the regular bind off (definitely too tight).

I tested out the stitch pattern I'll probably use for my pal's socks. Think it looks reptilian?

Not reptilian. Fishy (but in a good way).

Thanks. Can I still get away with naming them after a dragon, though?

Oh, sure! No one really knows what shape a dragon's scales are.
