Last week, I finally had a chance to tear myself away from my dishcloths to put the finishing touches on these socks. I made the same mistake I always did, and made them too short (curses!) but they will still be great in the Japanese winter. I hope it comes soon! I used the Sock Pattern to End All Sock Patterns, which definitely has the best short-row heel instructions as the final project came out with no holes! But next time I think I will be doing toe-up so that I can use all of the yarn and make the tallest socks possible. I am ready to try some new sock yarn that isn't Koigu!

I haven't had the energy to pick up my beast of a wool sweater in the summer heat, but would like to start working on it again soon so that i can decide what to do with it. Will it be worth finishing? Will the yarn actually make it as far as I want it to? Who knows. I would say stay tuned, but if I don't really care anymore, why should you?

I'm back to my dishcloths, trying to make the most of my dwindling Sugar 'n Creme stash before my supplier comes to visit--just two weeks, can't wait!!
