SOCKS ARE DONE!

I finally finished my first set of socks! Yah! They are super warm and yummy to wear. Soft and cuddly. My footies have been very snuggy warm every night since I finished them on Monday.

The only issue? I made them a little tooooo long. I didn’t need to make them knee-highs… but I did. Well, it was one of those, “don’t have a clue what I’m doing” sort of projects that I just kept knitting away like a goof. And then once I made one that long, I had to make the other the same.

I already started on a new pair, and these will be my wiser socks. Wiser because I know now how many stitches to cast on for a nice pair with normalish thick yarn (30) and I hope that I will stop before they go to my knee this time. (I will) and I will be wise enough to use ONE skien of yarn instead of 2, barely. And they should knit up a little faster that way as well.

But I still will love and cherish my goofy fuzzy alpaca wool socks for years to come. I’m wearing them now and my toes are singing with warm happiness!
