  I’m really glad I finally finished these socks. The pattern is great but the time effort is gigantic. From start to finish took me about 5 month due to demotivation. And I’m really unsatisfied with the color. When I finally started to make the second sock the first one was burried somewhere in my knitting bag and I saw the color problem for the first time when I finally put them on. This IS the same dyelot! And I’m really really thinking about never buying sockyarn in 50g balls again.
