Finally, I finished the socks I have seemingly been knitting all summer!
I started them in Lethbridge, dragged them with my to Langley (but hardly worked on them, except to show Julie), and brought them on the plane with me when I went to Winnipeg.
These have showed up previously as socks of resignation but I am now much happier with them. The second skein, and therefore the second sock, is actually quite a bit brighter than the first. This used to drive me crazy about handpainted yarns, but now that I realize you can hardly tell the difference after you've worn and washed them a few times, it doesn't bug me anymore.
They turned out too big for me - I should have known that 64 stitches on 2.75 mm needles probably would. But they fit Stasha perfectly. August 19.
