Finished, ends woven in and tried on for fit (my gauge was loose but I managed to make up for it by making them a hair short so they stretched lengthwise and fit fine).
I have a little ritual when I finish a project. I put extra yarn (none in this case) and needles away. I always print copies of online patterns on card stock when I’m using them so that I have a nice durable copy and when I’m done, I file them in a notebook for possible future use. I very happily filed all 12 (14? who knows) pages of this one in the recycling bin this morning, never, ever to be seen again. It felt good.
Now that these are done, I’ve wound up this lovely handspun and plan to start a Baktus with it this afternoon: 
There’s a sweater to be started too and another pair of socks. Time to go stash diving…

The handspun is very pretty! And matches your new socks perfectly. Is it painted sheep fiber?

Pretty handspun!
You and Emilee are making me want to join in on the handspun Baktus thing…
