I started these socks (details at Ravelry) in December, as soon as I ripped open the package from my Secret Pal 11 pal.
I paused a little after finishing the first sock, because I needed to make something decadent and delicate and self-pampering (not that these socks aren’t pampery).
But recently it’s been cold here and I’ve been rueing all the super-short socks that I made in the spring. So I got back to my longish Opals.
Yesterday we went out for a drive and I got most of the leg done, which surprised me no end as it wasn’t that long a drive. This yarn knits up really quickly, though. It’s very satisfying.
This morning we planned to go out for a walk in the park, so I quickly did my sewn bind-off (finishing it, again, in the car) and popped on my new socks right there and then. It felt great.
On the way home I cast on for a pair of kid socks made from the left-overs. Otherwise, I’d only have had one project on the go!
(OK, apart from the sideways scarf, and the buttons I need to sew onto that little sweater, and thing things stuffed in the back of the cupboard of which we do not speak…)

the socks are great, I’m terrible with socks – I make one then get bored…!
I did too, until the first time I made two-at-once using two circulars. That was MUCH better. Then I was hooked, because they felt so nice to wear.
