Who needs FOs?

I’m only one chart away from finishing Lotus Blossom and a few rows and a cuff from finishing Eris. So of course, instead of completing either project, I worked on a newer one this week.

This is going to be the most obnoxious sock ever. So, needless to say, I love it already.

Months ago – or maybe it was over a year ago? – I’d bought several balls of sock yarn from Elann. Three balls went toward my tipless gloves. Three more balls were intended for striped socks. I wasn’t entirely sure how the colors would go together at the time, but they looked fine on my monitor. In person, the purple is less grey, and, the green’s a little brighter than I’d like, but hey, bright, not-entirely-coordinating colors are an essential component of silly socks, right?

After this pair, though, I think I’ll be done with stripes for while.

Speaking of stripes and gloves, I need to get a picture of my tipless gloves. But they live in my office at the moment, and until I remember to either bring my camera to work or bring my gloves back home, you’ll just have to imagine how the pair looks.
