I’m finally better, but while staying home from work this week feeling terrible, I finished the socks for my mom, and almost finished one of my Estonian Socks.

I cast this on back in February, knit the fair isle section, and then put it down until the other day. The rest of the sock flew by, and with a few days of knitting, I’m almost done.

I finished my socks later on Monday. They are now blocked and ready to be gifted tomorrow night.

I’m a bit of a procrasinator, in nearly every aspect of my life. I started these socks back in April for my Mom’s birthday (or Mother’s Day, depending on when I finished). I cast on and knit until after the gusset shaping in one sitting.

And then put it down for something else. It stayed exactly like this photo for nearly a month, until last Saturday when I finished up the one sock and started another, while sitting on the couch all weekend recovering from a cold. I’m amazed at what I can actually accomplish when I set my mind to it.

It also helps to have a fun project. I love the look of these socks, ankle socks with a picot cast on and a jaywalkeresque pattern, I hope my mom will love them as much as I love knitting them.
