It's like a festival of finishing things!

On January 1, I had, in my pile of UFOs, five unfinished pairs of socks. These would be the Noro socks I was making for myself to see if I like Silk Garden sock yarn, the purple socks I started in New Orleans last spring, the purple dragons socks I'm working on for Lori, the green socks I'm making for Hilary, and a random pair of tie-dyed looking socks that I started for myself in a moment of weakness some time last summer.

So far, the Silk Garden socks are done and the second sock is started on the purple socks. Next up: Hilary's socks, because they'll be easy once I figure out when to start the decrease. Then, Lori's socks, which will require fixing the math error in the design that led to the foot becoming smaller and smaller and smaller until it wasn't a sock anymore. (Bad at math. Shoot me.) By the time those are done, I might have found the random socks again and recovered the sock needles that I'm missing that are packed with them.

After that, it's back on the shawl that contained the math error right before Christmas (yes, there is a pattern here). Who knows, I might even get to that poor sweater that's been languishing for something like three years.

Pictures of both the Noro socks and the purple socks once the purple ones are done.
