Had to take a mini hiatus from these socks to knit a few donation knits and another pair of socks, but I’m back at it now. I’m hoping to finish these for #stashdash2014

Finito!! Used the trip up to Duncan for Lindsay’s wedding to finish these bad boys. I love how they turned out. Now to get my project bag back from Lindsay before she goes on her honeymoon so that I can take proper FO photos!
