As I've posted on my Ravelry project page, I couldn't possibly resist the urge to name my next "big project" after something Firefly/Serenity-centric. I have a reputation to uphold (and a sickness there are no meds for - especially not the Pax, thanks)!
These were put on the backburner since I had a deadline to accomplish the scarf. Everything else was put on hold. Now that I have some free/downtime, I'm trying to finish up these socks in a hurry. I know with the weather getting deathly hot, the man isn't going to wear them any time soon, so perhaps after a few washings, the holes may disappear...although I don't think those "scars" will go away.
They will be Reaver Socks forever! I originally called them "Two by Two, Socks of Blue", but, Kis*Knit (a far more talented knitter) beaten me to it. So I figured until I get my skills down and I can knit a pair without holes or super-wonky-ness, I think they really are Reaver socks.
However, being that the hubby has loved them from the beginning, without the slightest bit of "they could be better" - I knit on, laughing at myself and enjoying making these crazy socks...and planning to buy more sock yarn soon!!! And circulars because I need to learn the toe-up method, too...I can't wait!

I love the colour of your yarn. Very nice! :-) Good luck with the finishing!

Me too! I just love blues and greens and when I saw this oh-way-back-when, I snatched it up. I think it was the last one left in bin. :)
Thank you. I'm nearing the heel flap now and I've already made a big, wonky hole! The funny thing was, I was doing so well and wondered if this was supposed to be "Reaver-ised", I'd need to screw it up somewhere - but I didn't want to do it on purpose. Last night, several stitches slipped and before I knew it - MASSIVE holes and ladders. LOL Yaay!
