Clearly those horrible Monster Socks are going to be completed (one way or another) today. So, what next? Should I continue in the spirit of Socktoberfest and do more socks? I can’t do any more plain socks. I just can’t. Or I could continue in completion mode. Or do something else entirely… Some choices: a …

Hmm…
Now, that looks like the wrong side of “close” to me. What do you think? These socks were doomed from the beginning. Maybe I should just knit socks for me. They seem to go much better. Perhaps knitting socks for other people is inherently less rewarding 🙂 I rattled on with this sock last night. …
