A promising project bag!
I found a pattern, a few pattern notes that don't make much sense, and best of all, a sock that only needs the toes grafted and the half-completed second sock!
While I'm thrilled to find my own pair of almost-done socks, the details are a bit quite embarrassing. I started these socks for my sister many years ago, so long ago that I'm not even going to write the year. Let's just say that the project is way down in the first row of my ravelry notebook. Now that I've posted this photo, I really do need to finish them. So, sorry for the delay, Jill. I guess it's better to receive long-promised socks later than never. Or, like Dad used to say, I'd rather owe you socks than cheat you out of them. :-)
They are beautiful socks. Im so glad you resurrected them. Too far along to frog
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathy! I really do need to finish them, and hopefully soon. My poor sister has waited an embarrassingly long time!
DeleteWhat a great find! Usually I find a UFO _without_ any notes, so I bet you will figure them out when you start knitting the sock. The yarn is beautiful, and you will get to knit your favorite color again. Your sister will be very pleased, as she should be. I hope you have great weather (we are) for a great weekend, Bonny.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat to stumble on!
ReplyDeleteIs that pattern Blueberry Waffle?
Beautiful socks. Totally worth finishing!
It is Blueberry Waffle! Now that I've posted them, I really do have to finish them soon. My poor sister has already waited eight years!
Deletewell that's a big YAY! and you'll have them finished in no time. I predict bright blue skies, too, so you'll have a nice backdrop for the FO photo!
ReplyDeleteHooray! You'll have a finished pair in no time at all. And my dad used to say that, too!
ReplyDeleteLucky Jill! You'll be done with them before you know it!
ReplyDeleteThe perfect thing to stumble upon! You will have them done in no time, I am sure!
ReplyDeleteThose are just lovely socks! I'm glad you found them -- and that your sister will finally get to wear them. :-) Carole's post reminded me that I, too, have half-a-pair of finished socks languishing in a project bag. (That's the problem with socks. . . ) XO
ReplyDeleteCute project bag and great socks. That's a pattern I've been meaning to try.
ReplyDeleteThat project bag is BEAUTIFUL!!! Looks like the forgotten socks will knit up pretty quickly.
ReplyDeleteI love the project bag and that must have been many years....eep! Gorgeous blue!! How could you forget it....
ReplyDeleteYou sister is going to be VERY surprised and delighted with the blutiful socks!
ReplyDeleteOh my! SURPRISE!! That UFO/stash assessment is still on my list of things to do! (Scary.)
