It feels like I have completed very few projects during this stay-at-home time. Ravelry says I have, a whopping six projects: two simple cowls, three pairs of socks, and several masks (which I guess could count for more than one project). But anyway, I finished a pair of socks last night and it felt like I’d just finished a marathon! I looked back and discovered I’d started these on March 16, the first day I started working from home. That’s almost two months ago, friends! Does it seem crazy that we’ve been doing this for so long? Sometimes it does to me, and sometimes it just feels like normal now. I’m so glad to have these off my needles finally.
The yarn is Leading Men Fiber Arts Showstopper in Complete Imagination and the pattern is Vestigial. I love the colors of the yarn and the gentle stripes. I carried the pattern down to the end of the gusset and after that I just wanted plain stockinette feet. And now I get to pick out a new sock yarn and cast on something fun…as soon as I clean off my craft room table of all the stuff it accumulated while I was painting!

Those socks are really nice. I love the pattern, it shows off the yarn beautifully.
Thank you!
That looks like a really fun pattern! I can see where a stockinette foot might be better, though, than continuing the pattern all the way down.
I also feel like this has been going on for ages at times — though other times it feels like it has been no time at all. (I’ve gotten really bad at judging time since I don’t have a change of scenery exepct for my once-every-two-weeks grocery runs.)
Apparently time means nothing anymore!
They look great. What sock yarn did you end up choosing to cast on?
One of the new multicolor ones, Orange Jellyfish in Intergalactic Planetary. Except I kind of think I liked it better skeined than knitted.
I hate it when that happens. I now have the Beastie Boys stuck in my head.
Hm. I have no idea why, probably because I’ve never listened to them!
Your socks looks great! Lovely yarn, and it looks like they will be comfy and stay up nicely 🙂
Thank you!
I know what you mean about not finishing a kit of projects. I like your socks snd congrats on the completion of the marathon!
Thank you!
Gorgeous socks. You’ve been busy with those puppies and house painting too
So true!
