no one special


the latest pairs of socks I've knitted, now complete and ready to send to my friend. I think these pairs are fine, but I'm a little disappointed with them nonetheless.

when I started these I had to decide whether to push myself as a knitter and delve into cable knitting for the first time, or just crank out more of the same pattern I've done several times now, and I chose the latter. this was largely because I wanted to get them done relatively quickly--most of the socks I make now are gifts for a friend who can't wear normal elastic-band socks for health reasons. but I do feel like I'm stagnating as a knitter and not learning any new techniques. which is also fine, this is a hobby not a job, and I don't need to get professionally good at it. just nags at me a little, is all.
