sokken!

I finally finished my Laeticia socks yesterday, begun at the beginning of last October. This is why I don’t like to have more than a couple of knitting projects ongoing at a time; I feel like a slacker when it takes me five months to finish a pair of socks, even though the reason for taking so long is that I began and finished three dishcloths, a hat, a scarf, an entire freaking sweater (with complex cables, even) and a shawlette in that time, not to mention part of another sock and about a third of a lap blanket. OK, wow, maybe not such a slacker – thanks to Ravelry for the chronological list. Also there were reasons to start all those other projects when I did, either for presents or to have winter things done before spring or to knit up yarn I’d been given. Anyway, Laeticia – I can’t take a picture right now, but here’s one of the first completed sock. You can take it for granted that the second looks the same:
