EWV 0314-2009, Ankle Socks

I cast off the first sock of EWV 0314-2009 on August 15th; although, I didn't actually stitch the toe or weave the end until August 16th.



And speaking of stitching the toe, I've said it once - and I'll say it again; I'd much rather cast off, then stitch than to do kitchener stitch for the toe. Cast off & stitch is just much easier and looks cleaner to me too. I'm sure there are some who can do a clean kitchener, but I'm not one of them. Here is the completed first sock on August 16th:



I found that I was tired of working on the first sock, so I started the second one before I stitched the toe of the first one. Here is the cuff progress of the second sock on August 15th.



And on August 23rd, five months from the start, the pair is done:
