August Socks, or The Neverending Socks

These socks were knit on 2mm needles, with 1 strand of Paton's Classic Wool, for the Mittens for Akkol sock challenge. I had thought that if I knit them on really small needles that they wouldn't wear out for a long time. What I hadn't realised was how long it would take me to knit them. I've been working on these socks since the end of April! Phew! Now I've gone almost to the other extreme. I'm knitting a pair on 5mm needles, with 2 strands of Paton's Classic Wool. They're going much quicker. :D

The sock challenge is going well, with 81% of the goal achieved. Hooray!
