Update… pattern complete, after all… see below <3

pattern not completely translated - and what’s there needs polished. Have put the missing last section through a freebie internet Finnish to English translator… hoping that ‘Arm’ means Top Part of Sock… but not entirely sure. I’m VERY fluent in ‘knitting’ - but translations are a tricky process. Hats off to all the beautiful knitters out there that have to put up with the Anglo-Centric Knitting Universe.

English Pattern is now complete - I was using an older version ? Frogged 1st sock and restarted with a higher contrast blue-green wool yarn in place of the 100% synthetic yarn. It’s going quickly - the switching between the two yarns keeps me more focused on the project, for some reason… hurrah! Can’t wait to try it out on other colors and fibers - engages not only my knitting brain but also my painting/dying/spinning/etc. Creative Brain(s)

I think no matter what I do… my sock projects will NEVER come out to be exact matches. Lol. The term Second Sock Syndrome has taken on a new Curse for me… in this case, excitement at actually getting them complete resulted in a couple of obviously dropped stitches after blocking … I was able to pick up and get them fixed in place but trying to reblock has slightly felted sock #2. Hubby is a good sport about it but Perfectionism is frustrating. Not willing to deal with the aggrevation of two-at-the-same-time method either (always get the two strands mixed up or hopelessly tangled), so I WILL accept and grow from this Craft Thing, right? heart
