evening stockings
I kind of don't even know what to say about these socks. I love them. They are tall, lacy socks that would be (will be) really great for October. They were started in March and finished this weekend. Sock number too took a long time because it got warm and knitting was suddenly much less exciting. That said, knitting is much more exciting as of Saturday when I needed to start a new project (because really, nothing but knitting will do for the commute). It is so easy to spend forever on Ravelry because they really have all the options. If you're like me and like to consider all the options before you do something, this can be hard. I have started three projects in the last three days, and I'm not sure that I'm keeping any of them. I want to make the absolute best match of project to yarn while maintaining budget and reducing stash. This is ridiculous. How do you pick projects? What do you do when you regret it?
Another question: How important is blocking my socks? I didn't block these because I don't have sock blockers and even if I did, they would be too short. Am I missing out?

Oh, and if I regret starting or even finishing a project, I frog. I think I have probably knit almost everything twice. Crazy, I know.
Haven't blocked a sock I've made yet. Usually give them a warm bath so that my feet don't turn a lovely shade of sock color and then wear and wash them until they need to be mended. Then they languish in the mend pile for a long time.
