One done, one sent to frog pond

I finished the socks:



And I learned a big lesson. Some projects are hopeless, even when you're *really* close to finishing them, and it's better to just retrieve the yarn. Despite the many years I've been knitting, this is the first time I've really faced this truth. I feel that I have grown. Also, I'm totally agonized over the hours of work I wasted on a lost cause. AARRGGHH!
