I think it is interesting that when I am knitting something for someone else, be it a gift or a commission, I always put in more time and take more care than when I am knitting something for myself.

The socks are mirrored, so each foot is different. I like knitting socks like this because it is much less boring.
Now, if only I could harness the energy I put into other people’s projects for one of my own. Does anyone else have this problem?

Nice! I love that they are mirrored. And yes, I have similar problems. Other than fobs, I do not own a single piece of my own stitching.
Wow, what gorgeous socks – congrats on the great knitting!
Pretty socks. Not my colour, but love the pattern. Nice work.
These are so beautiful! Love the colour and design. Beautiful!
Love the green socks! Knitting is something I just have never been able to pick up. Love your site and blogs! Thanks for dropping by Bits of Floss and for your comments!
