August is the month of finishing

A recent inventory showed me I have too many projects started, but not close enough to completion. I have decided to power ahead and finish some. And now I have made progress:
One and a Half pairs of socks. The blue socks are my Inside/Outside socks that I designed earlier this year for theknitter.com (Kits & pattern are available there still). They are made with fortissima cotton and soooo soft to wear. I have a feeling these will become some of my favorite hand knit socks. The other one is a new sock of the month kit, Hawaiin Leies (Wow, I’m sure I mangled that spelling). It’s a quick and easy knit, made with Trekking XXL. I still have one more sock to make to complete that pair; but wanted to show how hard I’ve been working.
I need to finish more projects before starting the next one, the pair of koolaid dyed socks for Katie. I do know that I’ll have another sock to test knit in another week or so.

I find socks *very* hard to finish. Your socks are beautiful! If you look at ‘the book,’ you’ll notice I did one of each kind of sock. Let’s not forget Sirdal, either, I raced through the body and have completely stalled on the sleeves. I see a pattern here…two socks, two sleeves. I love the dye day results, too! Any plans for a project with the new yarn?
