The heels are knit from Hazel Knits Artisan Socks in Shannypants, left over from a hat I made an important baby five years ago. And I&#8217;m not certain, but the yarn I ended up using for the toes might have been Dye Dreams Dream Sox in Cranberry (but there&#8217;s a lot of ball left, which I think means it&#8217;s probably something else, with an AWOL tag).

I picked them back up in August, and finished the first sock that day. I knit the second sock off and on in October, but put off Kitchnering the toe until right before <a href=\"http:\/\/quesarah.net\">Sarah<\/a> and Megan&#8217;s Christmas party on the Solstice. Yes, I am lazy.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/spriteshoots\/16135228865\" title=\"Are These for Me? by kkfea, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7535\/16135228865_f16356b3b2.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Are These for Me?\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The stripes match and I&#8217;m pleased with how they turned out. <\/p>\n<p>The Vintage Holiday was a short skein I picked up at a fiber festival Sarah and I went to a number of years ago, and I didn&#8217;t want to run out of yarn, so I made the first sock leg shorter than I usually opt for. As it turns out, with the toes and heels knit out of other yarn, I had more than enough and could have gone for my usual length, but it&#8217;s fine. If I lived in New England, I&#8217;d have to come up with a way to tack a couple inches in there to make sure my legs weren&#8217;t cold. Since I live in D.C., though, our December weather is still mild and short socks are fine here at this time of year.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/spriteshoots\/15512896684\" title=\"What the Heck, Man? by kkfea, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7569\/15512896684_af10b06df1.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" alt=\"What the Heck, Man?\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Corey thinks I should have knit him something instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday night I wrote this post and hit publish and, in a rare turn of events for WordPress, it immediately disappeared into the ether.
