I can't remember a pair of socks taking me so long to knit!
First, I would say the new needles (addi) were too small
(a size 1 instead of a size 2)
and so took too long to knit the plain socks.
Secondly, I enjoyed the rabbit hole of amigurumi and quick little projects.
Thirdly, I enjoyed the sweater project more than the tiny sock needles.
I think that is all the excuses I can come up with honestly! lol
I ended up finishing the leg of this sock with my old favorite needles and stuck it out!
(I only made a few dishcloths every so often
to keep me from going cross-eyed!)
To prove I still like making socks, I cast with fun yarn
(a Jacquard sock yarn)
and lovely needles and have this much done already!
I also tried a new style of toe, a round toe which had to be one for toe-up socks which is what I do.
It was fun and easy to make and they fit well!

As long as you're enjoying it, it doesn't matter what you're making
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo for the sock finish! I love the yarn on the new pair. The right needle makes all the difference. I'm getting ready to write a blog post for tomorrow about that myself.
ReplyDeleteThe color on the new sock is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI have a single sock that needs its mate knit, from back in the early 2000's!! LOL It's Fascine Braid, and so tedious!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the socks. The ones I posted on my blog a few days ago that I finished? They were the ones that I was knitting in London in September! It took me forever. I was busy with other things and I just wasn't feeling it. :-)
ReplyDeleteI really like that new yarn. It's lots of fun. It's always fun on those types of yarn to see what comes out of the skein next. :-)
Blessings,
