it's a minor victory or, uh, something
Three guesses which blue and silver striped sock I finally finished tonight, and the first two don't count.
YAAAAAAAAY!!!
Of course, it took me 14 months, and now I get to go straight on to my least favorite thing evvvver about socknitting - starting the toe of the second sock. I officially prefer turning heels to starting toes, and at least with the first toe, you have the excitement of new yarn to pull you through. The second sock, though - that shit is a drag, and especially this time. I'd been knitting the leg of the first sock on two Addi circs, and now to go back to my birch dpns? It's waaaaay too grippy, and I'm terrified I'll break another needle (it'd be my third in this set).
Good thing, though, is that I figured out how to use an i-cord bind-off as a casing for elastic, so droopy sock syndrome shouldn't be a problem like it was with Adrienne's. I am quite pleased with myself, and more pleased with my new kneesock.
Maybe I'll do some FO picspam instead of working on that next toe... O:)
