January Socks - Done!


I finished them at last! These are the socks I started almost a year ago. I did have to get another skein of Denimstyle in order to finish them - darn. But they're so soft and cozy that I don't mind. When I doubleknit part of the sole I use up way more yarn than I realise. I also like my socks to have more length in the leg than store-bought socks, which eats up the yarn. Now I can get on with other projects. I'm trying to keep "startitis" under control...

I'm still working on the Baby Genius Scarf out of ancient Paton's Shetland Chunky(which is not as soft as the current Shetland Chunky). I am making some progress, although it's slow going. I think the Baby Genius pattern would make a nice blanket, too. Hmmm. Startitis just might strike me again today!
