Another pair of socks FINISHED!
I finished these socks, yesterday. They are the September Sockamania pattern, Noughts 'N Crosses. Yes, I know, from September!! They were fun, but I caught startitis back in September and never went back to them. I finally started trying to finish things this past week and have done a pretty good job! I also have the August pattern to finish, Spiralling socks. Those are past the heel on the second sock. They are a Christmas gift, so I need to get them done before too long.
In the spirit of finishing, I pulled out the sweater I was planning to give my Mom for Christmas. Its less than a third done, so I pulled out another project, the Lucy Top from Wendy Knits. I finished the second sleeve, which I had already started, but the gauge is off. I'm going to try going down a needle size, today, and see if that gets the original gauge back. If it does not, I'll have to frog it. This sweater was originally started for me, but I decided I don't like the yarn. Mom has seen me working on it, and loves it, so it would be a great gift.

sounds like you will be busy!! The new socks are so pretty with the black Xs and Os on the variegated background!
Gorgeous socks. I suffer from a severe case of startitis too. Been tempted to start a new idea all day to see if it'll work and resisting it as I've got stuff that needs to be finished.
Came to visit from Sockmania site. I wish I knew how to make a stole. I bought some lace yarn from Anni now I want to make a stole out of it. nice visiting your site
Best of luck on the gauge issue. It's always good to recycle...
Blessings!
The socks are great! Good luck with the sweater.
