The pattern is totally amazing, but each sock took eons and for the first time in my life, I developed Second Sock Syndrome. Possibly because I had to restart the first sock three times, and then on the second I had to rip back 25 rows to the heel, due to a mistake I made in the gusset. After all my years of knitting, this was the first time I had ever tried to follow a chart. I need more practice, clearly.
I persevered, though, and they're ready to go:
It's a shame that it's now over 90 degrees with 70% humidity in New England. I have them sitting on a chair in my bedroom rather than in a drawer so I can admire them daily. My husband leaves his store-bought socks out on top of his dresser all the time, so what's one pair on the chair? I like them even more now that they've been cast off the needles. And now, onto the next project!
