can socks feel love? loneliness? pain?

I noticed that I have several items on the “in progress” list that are sitting at precisely 50% completion. This is because they all need mates. Three lone socks and a mitten are keeping each other company in my knitting bag. I hope they’re making friends.

Anyway, I’m taking them off the list. When they go from 50% to 100%, I’ll take pictures. In the meantime, I’m tired of seeing my commitment issues spelled out for me. :)

One sock has been taken off the half-done list because of fit issues. I have a high instep, and it had to be wrangled onto my foot. So this morning, my Baudelaire went from this:

I tore it stitch from stitch, then drowned it in the sink. There were little bubbles as it went down. I held it under until they stopped.

And now it’s just a soft, squishy lump of damp Koigu.
