Forgotten Socks

Recovering a lost sock project and finishing it in three days.

Sometimes I take a look at my works in progress in Ravelry and decide that I have too many on. I then go to search around for projects that I either feel like completing or that need to be frogged. In this case, I frogged three and found one project that was already 80% or more completed. I’d forgotten I started them a day after completing the previous sock project in October 2021. It also uses the same self-dyed yarn but uses a different pattern. This pattern is called Hexenzirkel by Sonja Köhler and has a very cute zig zag cable pattern. The Ravelry project can be found here. I chose to do the pattern on the side of the foot.

When I recovered the project, it was in a bag with a print out of the cable chart with tick marks. Past me was more organized than current me expected, that’s for sure! I decided to complete a few more rounds of the chart and then start the 2×2 ribbing. It didn’t require much time at all to complete and I’m unsure why it ended up in a bag in the bottom of the box of shame. Hopefully I’ll get around to wearing these every so often, however, I expect a fate similar to the other ones. Nice to look at, very few wears because I’m just not used to hand knit socks.
