Nine Pairs of Socks

Last night I finally finished my nieces’ and nephews’ 2015 Christmas socks. Once again, I was a week late.  I significantly overestimated the knitting time I would have in December.

So what started the year as this:

While packing my yarn for vacation (for me that's a thing) I sorted out yarn for Christmas socks 2015. I'm nearing the end of my discontinued @knit_picks #felici stash. #knitstagram

That’s 9 pairs of socks ranging from my 11 year old niece’s size 9s down to my 2 1/2 year old nephews tiny toes. They’re all from my stash of Knit Picks Felici (Rainbow, Maple Leaves, Blackberry Jam, Sorbet, Time Traveler, Mountain Stream, Building Blocks, Rustic Cabin, and Lighthouse).

Some were done early in the year while most were finished in the past couple weeks (afterthought heels take longer than I like to remember).

Many have been documented on instagram at during travel:

PS – This turned into a fun retrospective of my year in sock knitting (at least for me). 🙂  Happy New Year!
