Exactly Twenty Days
That is how long it took me to complete the socks (minus a couple of days I wasn't able to work on them)! Now don't laugh, for me that is probably some sort of speed record.
Anyhow. Hate them. I should say - love how they feel, hate the colors. This is nothing new for me. By the time I finish a project, I am usually so sick of looking at it that I no longer even like it. It is definitely proportionate to how much frogging I had to do and how many mistakes I pretended not to see. They do feel VERY cozy though. Maybe I will just wear them in bed.

Ah well, now for Eli's socks. These will go MUCH faster - I am using a worsted weight with size 4 DPN's.

Ciao! I came across your site via Google, popped in knitting+blog+italy and wow another knitter in town! From whatever page I entered on I saw you order most of your yarn online. I know not much of a selection as far as yarn shops go here in Catania huh. Besides Barone on Via Etnea and a couple tables at the market selling standard fare..there IS a little old man at the fiera who has some of the good stuff (Filati, Binocchi & Lana Grossa) it's a hit and miss as to what he has on a given day (Saturdays seem to have the best luck) at 50cents/1 euro a ball nice way to fill up the stash with pretties. Just thought I'd pass that on! - Buon Divertenti & Happy Knitting! - Wendy
