Finished!
I finished at 1:32pm CST. (Hope that counts!)
Pattern: Elfine's Socks
Yarn: Socks that Rock, Red Rock Canyon
Needles: Addi Turbo 40", size 0
Modifications: You can see the stitches I added in to the leg; I made the heel deeper, shortened the cuff to my liking and added ribbing at the top. I used a figure 8 cast on for the right sock, and the "easy toe" cast on from Knitty's Techniques with Theresa for the other.
Time spent: eternity
General satisfaction level: very happy
Injury report: will ice/advil right hand
Seriously, I can't believe I finished these. This pattern challenged me in ways I haven't been challenged since I was a new knitter (I learned one year ago this weekend, by the way!). For the second sock, I gave up the chart and used the line instructions with a sticky note. It worked a lot better for me. Considering I knit most of these with a terrible viral/ear infection, they were my first toe-ups, first wrapped short-row heels, and first time using size 0 needles, I'm pretty happy with them! Astonished, actually.
I'm glad I gave up the stockinette leg - it really didn't look as nice.
They're comfortable, roomy socks. I can't wait to wear them!
