My last pair of socks of the year, but my first set of long socks for this winter. Behold the amazingly scrappy Frankensocks.

I knitted a lot of socks last winter and given that even with my Hobbity feet I still only wear size 39 I ended up with quite a few leftovers.

Then I saw @jamiemccanless scrappy socks and figured: "There is an idea". Of course I still have plenty of full skeins that will also require my attention now that the Christmas crafting craze is over but I still have enough leftovers for at least one more pair of scrappy frankensocks if not two and any leftovers from that will probably be used to make hexipuffs since I have an intense need to make myself a beekeeper's quilt.

NORMALIZE. SOCK. DARNING.

It takes <10 mins to fix a smallish home in your sock once you get the hang of it.

It does not need to be pretty, it just needs to work. Your socks will last you many more months.

I also stitched up a massive rip in the heel of the other sock.

It’s actually so nice not to worry about my stitches being pretty since it’s all going to be in my shoes anyway.

Ok so I never actually asked what my mom’s fiancé’s shoe size was and just made a generic men’s sock but NO apparently he has gargantuan feet. Long story short, I love afterthought heels. Instead of making a whole new pair, I just cut out the old heel, Kitchener-stitched that together, and now I’m getting ready to cut where the heel should actually be. Then I can undo the cuff and knit them a few inches taller.

I might be the only one NOT watching the game.
