Longest Socks Ever

I started these before Rhinebeck, I'm not sure exactly when but I was knitting them in the car on the way. I knit them at Stitches East. And I finally finished them on December 23. Seriously, I've never taken that long to knit socks. I'm blaming the Christmas knitting. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I got it on a really good sale from Webs but it pooled a bit on the foot, not sure I like that.

Anna said...: They're lovely! I'm not a fan of pooling either, but it looks like it just happened on the sole of the foot? The bit that you see looks really nice.; January 4, 2010 at 3:21:00 PM EST

re: a green sweater KAL. I haven't got the pattern yet. I am waiting for SHP to work up a way to download patterns. I have... issues with paying $4.50 shipping for a 4-page pattern. I think the Feb Lady Sweater will be my Ravelympics project. Or a pr of socks. Still looking for a team.; January 7, 2010 at 10:35:00 AM EST
