Yay! I finished Hedera in 6 days. I can’t believe how quickly I knit these up. Of course there were problems in the first sock that I wish I could fix. In the picture I carefully covered up the toes of the first sock because I didn’t akamai! I just blindly followed the pattern so I ended up with a toe that was too short. Oh the shame!
If I were truly a perfectionist, I would knit 3 socks. The first sock would be a test knit and then the other 2 would simply be perfection. I’m not sure what I’d do with the extra socks, but I’d then have perfect sock pairs. Maybe I could use them for holiday decorations, or possibly start a new fashion trend of ill-fitting mismatched socks. Of course I could just rip out the toe of the first sock and do it over again. That’s logical. Nah this one will just squish right into shape and it’s not like anyone is going to inspect my feet. If they did, it’s not my sanity that would be in question.

Nice! I wish I could see the stitch pattern. Is that yarn sparkley? I say just reknit the toe - that’s a lot easier than knitting a whole new sock.
You have a lot of shawls finished! You have inspired *me* to get off my butt and block Icarus! Maybe tomorrow. (grin)

I guess you could always use the extra socks as Christmas presents. . . Just wrap them up to be used as Christmas stockings for all your friends with pets!
Lovely socks, even if they are too short.
