Well, the post title pretty much says it all. I finished them this morning with about 3 hours to spare.
They're currently drying outside after being steam-blocked.
Here's a better look at the pattern:
Oh, and if anyone ever says you don't need to block socks; that's not necessarily true:
The right sock is post steam-blocking with an iron, the left sock has not been touched.
I just got the socks wet and then ironed them, using the steam setting of the iron to keep them wet (
see my steam-blocking tutorial if you're curious).
As much as these were awesome to knit, I'm glad their off the needles. That deadline got really -really- close.
Note to self: give more time for birthday and Christmas knits next time!
