Finally Finishing the Blueberry Pie Socks. Maybe.

My goal for this weekend is to turn this

Into this

I have suffered from a bad case of Second Sock Syndrome on this project. I started these socks Sept. 17, according to my Ravelry project page. I think – although I can’t recall clearly – that I finished the first sock within one or two weeks.

And then it proceeded to sit in my car. And sit. And sit some more.

I don’t have a good explanation for why these have not gotten finished, and why I haven’t started the second one.

But I’ll have a lot of knitting time on my hands this weekend, and I need a project that’s small enough to stuff in a purse and take with me. I can’t guarantee that the socks will get done, but I’m hoping that I’ll be able to get enough done to have a burst of motivation to finally finish the pair. (The first one fits beautifully, for what it's worth.)

I don’t want this to be the knitted Thing for February, though. I also have a sweater that’s been sitting around in various states of completion since Nov. 8. I’ve got one sleeve done, one sleeve left to go, and then a collar to do. I’d really like the sweater to be the knitted Thing.
