Woo Hoo! My socks are officially finished!
An unfortunate number of ends are all woven in (why did I think striped socks was a good idea?). And the socks have been blocked. They’re lovely and finished and have grown about two sizes. (But that’s a good thing, because I have great big man feet.)
Anyway, I don’t have a lot of insightful things to say- just that I love these socks, and love blocking socks in general. They’re smooth and perfect and ready to go.
Unfortunately, it’s about a million degrees here, so I won’t be wearing my socks any time soon. Sigh…
What’s your favorite part of making socks?
On the Needles 
That’s what self-striping is for! I kid, I kid…
I haven’t made socks in quite a while, but my absolute favorite part of knitting a sock is working the heel. From the heel flap, to the turning of the heel to the incorporating of said heel into the gusset, I love it because the heel is what makes a sock a sock.
Beautiful! My favorite part is working the foot—I always feel so close to being done once I get the heel made. 🙂
