(Hey, guess what, my internet is currently working! Hopefully I can get this post published before it craps out goes off again.)
I finished my 2025 socks! That's what I'm calling them since they are the only pair of socks I have knit this year. A fact that, to be honest, bothers me, as I love knitting socks and used to knit 3-4 pair in a year easily. Why just one pair this year? That is something I need to research (aka think back to what used up my knitting time) and find out so that I can fix it for 2026. Used to be socks on my knitting needles all the time, one pair after another, even if I was also knitting a different project on larger needles from time to time.
Finished socks
Socks, in my mind, photograph better on feet than laid out on their own, so here's a photo with much more 'lifelike' representation.
And one with my pantlegs pulled up, so you can see the socks in their entirety. Why one of my legs looks orangey, I can only blame on the camera and lighting. They are both the same color, the color of the left leg.
Same here! I might have made 2 pairs this year. I haven’t given it a lot of thought but now that you bring it up, I wonder what changed for me. Maybe I own enough, and for some reason I’ve slacked off on knitting. I like that stitch pattern with the self-striping yarn. I only make plain vanilla socks in terms of stitch patterns.
