Finished!
It’s almost cheating to call this an accomplishment, because it’s really not. On the list of “unfinished projects to complete,” this was probably the easiest. I started these socks in October, finished them in about a month, and then they sat. For almost a year. In my defense, at least two weeks of letting them sit untouched was completely justified – I noticed that I’d dropped a stitch picking up one of the heels, and figuring out how to darn that in looked like it’d be a headache.
The other ten months, unfortunately, I have no excuses for.
But, one episode of Gossip Girl later (because Gossip Girl makes almost every unpleasant task less painful), they were totally done. They’re also the most screamingly rainbow-coloured socks in the entire world, but I think after all this time, I’ve come to terms with that.
Pattern: Generic toe-up stockinette socks, with afterthought heels.
Needles: 2.25mm dpns
Yarn: ShibuiKnits Sock, in #51301 Spectrum
