If I can be so bold as to share my non-finished pairs of socks. Never have I been so proud to share my non-achievement with someone...

Here's one half finished toe up for me:

And 2/3 plus 1/3 of Katie's toe ups:

I really enjoy the idea of knitting socks but I just can't seem to finish them. I can do toe ups, top down, dpns, circs, two circs and yet I'm just not motivated to finish them! Even after my Eureka moment earlier this year when I discovered toe-ups, I thought this was it. Finally. But no! It is not meant to be.

However, I have discovered that sock yarn makes lovely scarves etc.. so at least there's still a place for sock yarn in my future! It's just not on my feet.

I would say I have started about 10 or 12 socks maybe more this year without finishing a single one Crying or Very sad

The house is littered with half-knitted sock cuffs Laughing

I have been thinking for a while about what sort of Pay it Forward gift I could offer so I have a suggestion.

For the first three people who PM me I will finish their half knitted pair of socks for them as early in the new year as I can.
