It’s time to do something about this. Truth be told, even though I worked on the Seattle socks, and thought about doing something about the other socks, I’m feeling done. I haven’t finished an actual pair of socks in months. MONTHS, people. I put them all out, these unfinished socks, and they weigh on me. I don’t love them. I just don’t. Most of the work was done while I was sick, and the quality of the work is sort of… lacking.
Meh.
Is it horrible to say, hi socks, I know I actually 100% finished one of a pair on two of you, but really, I’m just not that into you. And don’t want to spend the entire rest of the year slogging on you.
Even if you’re stockinette. Or 2×2 ribbing.
What was I thinking, btw, making a wool ankle sock out of FELTABLE YARN?
Gah.
Good to hear from you!!
I know the feeling – I have one randim stocking that I just don’t love, and I’m debating frogging it.
You know – you could give/sell/trade them as-is, and let someone else finish and love them.
You could wear them as mismates.
You could cut off the feet and have wrist warmers (OK, I’m reaching on that one…)
Or you could frog them.
Tough decision. And it’s all yours.
Take a deep breath, and rip ‘em! It’s tough, but way better than having them look accusingly at you every time you happen across them.
I made some anklets out of Knit Picks Palette, and they’re one of my fave pairs of socks. Feltable AND ultra-cheap! =)
If you don’t love them now, you never will. (Says the girl who ripped an entire, gigantic shawl.)
*passes Fraro a wine cooler*
Yep – I can’t have more than three pair on the needles – things begin to spiral out of control if there’s more.
Kill them off. No regrets.
Hee hee, oh, I missed you!
Love ‘em, or leave ‘em.
You can frog ‘em and make better use of them. Don’t let them guilt you into giving up more of your time if you’re not into them.
frog ‘em, absolutely. And then all that yarn to drool over again!
Stick them in a drawer
