Colour Gradient Socks


I've been under a self-imposed geas to finish up all my 2025 projects, and this pair of colour gradient socks was the last one on the list. I'd completed the cuffs and heels of both of them, as well as five rows of each foot, so the majority of the work was done. Still, the yarn was unpleasant to work with, so they migrated to the bottom of my workbasket and languished there for the better part of the year. Once my other "hanging" projects were done, I had no choice. It was time to finish the socks. That was four days ago. The thing is, I knew it would only take a few days to finish them up. I can usually force myself through unpleasant tasks by saying, "The sooner you get it over with, the sooner it won't be on your mind," but in this case, that philosophy wasn't working. Well, they're done now...and they're comfy and warm and as nice as wool socks could be, but I'm in no rush to start another project with the remaining yarn.
