I finally managed to finish these socks! They took so long…
I started them before my Australia trip, at the end of July. However, I was so busy on the trip that I didn’t make much progress. Then, when I came back to Canada, I moved to Toronto, started school, and got started on my Christmas knitting (which I enjoyed more than these socks).
However, I really hate having unfinished knitting projects languishing around. It bugs me, and nags at me until I finish them. Plus, one of my New Year’s resolutions is to make myself a pair of socks each month for 2017. I decided I could cheat a bit, and that even though I started these halfway through 2016, I would count them as my January socks if I finished them by the end of January. Thank goodness I did!
While I really like the pattern (Business Casual by TFA), I’m not such a huge fan of cables in general, so these socks took me forever to get through. While the finished pair is beautiful, I won’t be making another pair (which is too bad for some of my family, who were hinting to me how much they liked them!).
Business Casual on Ravelry, made from Manos del Uruguay. I love love love the yarn, will definitely be using it again. Eventually. My other New Year’s Resolution is to severely reduce the size of my stash, so it’ll be a while before I feel like I can buy yarn again without feeling ridiculously guilty.
