Socks are finished! Just in time. It is nice to finish a project at the new year, and they won't languish while I'm away. The twisted stitches were fiddly in parts, but I love the finished effect. This pair has sent me back to the trilogy of German stitch books (Bauerliches Stricken? I can't spell!) to look for more twisted stitch designs. And there are plenty. Many years of pleasureable December sock knitting lie ahead. A pattern down the center back is especially nice

Now with clear conscience I can address the problem of what knitting to bring on my trip. Quite likely more socks. I'll be away until the 20th, happy January everyone!
lovely, lovely, lovely socks!!!
