Well, they’re done. Over on Rav, I joined a Knit-A-Long back in…oh, December. Starting in January. I had until March to finish them – it was the sock of the first quarter. January, February, March came and went. Others posted beautiful, complete socks. Frankly, I knit on these once a week for a couple of hours…that was about the size of it. Not really feeling like knitting. Finally, though – they’re DONE. And I love them. But – I think that overwhelming need to knit socks has passed.

Now what?

Yarn: Socks That Rock Lightweight in Tide Pooling from Rockin Sock Club 2008
Pattern: Leyburn Socks
Needles: US 1.5
Started: 7 January 2009
Finished: 21 April 2009

Notes:
My normal number of stitches to cast on is around 64 – but the consensus was that the floats make these tight. So, I cast on the specified 72 sts. They are looser than my usual sock, but not really big by any means. I also did these cuff down – my personal preference. The pattern was technically reversed because I didn’t change it from the toe-up version. I mean, really, they’re socks. I did adjust the pattern down to 64 sts for the foot – it was pretty easy to reduce the pattern gradually at the gusset to accomplish this.

It’s too bad it’s now 90 degrees out – these have already gone into my drawer, ready for Fall!
