The last of my 2025 "hanging projects" is nearing completion. This pair of socks moved to the bottom of the barrel with the cuffs and heels of both done, as well as five rows on each foot. I was so annoyed with the quality of the yarn (a Herrschner's sale special, not something they usually carry) that I was close to tearing out all my work to use the yarn for something else. It is very loosely spun, splits with almost every stitch, but the fiber content makes it desirable for socks: superwash wool and polyamide. Despite the splitting of the plies, the socks will be durable. Yesterday, I made significant progress, working almost to the toe of one. It usually only takes me about a week to turn out a pair of socks with fingering yarn, so I am ashamed to admit that while finishing these up is easily within the range of a few days, I just couldn't bring myself to work on them until they were the last "incomplete" on my list.
