2024: year of socks?

I've made a lot of socks for other people. I loved these ones from last winter, which I never got final snaps of and are now gone. They were perfect in every way; the right colors, the right pattern, executed just as I had envisioned in my mind (this does not happen all the time for me, unfortunately).

So, things are changing for me and with all that change means a desire to keep really busy and to try to find joy in that. To appreciate what I make with my hands and to learn to celebrate it.

Socks is personal to me. I only make them for people I really, deeply love. I've never made them for myself. So in 2024, I'm going to try to see how many pairs of socks I can make for myself. To maybe learn to embrace who I am more and to accept the things I cannot change.

What do you think? Is there anything you make to try and accept you? Embrace you?

Maybe I'll start by trying to recreate this very sock, but this time, for me.
