I finished a second WIP for the Tour de France KAL.
These socks have been on my sticks for 2 years! Yep, you read it correctly, 2 years! That is the extent of my completer/finisher issues.
They are for a dear friend, She bought the yarn (Lornas Laces) knit me a pair of socks from one skein, and gave me
the other. I thought it was only fitting that I make her a pair too.
As you can see I have used contrasting yarn for the toe, heel and top band of the sock. I wanted to make sure that I had enough yarn to finish the socks. And I was trying to stop the yarn pooling around the heel, and it worked but only to a point. Never mind!
Yarn: Lorna's Laces & some scrap yarn
Pattern: Black Dog Knits, Lorna's Laces one hank socks.
So, 2 WIP's finished as part of the TDF. This KAL was a great motivator to complete some WIP's, I may have to sign up to some other KAL's to get through my massive list of things that need to be finished.
ps Don't you love my pj's? I am such a star!

You are a star, good Shazmina!! I like how the contrast parts don't match on both socks - very cool!
Very cool and very kind socks!!! I like the contrasting contrasts and the picot(?) edging. Well done on your TdF.
