SOCKS!
Once of my goals for 2012 was to use up all of my stashed sock yarn. The main goal being use up at least one ball of yarn a month. I'm making better than expected progress. Thus far, I've finished 4 socks (and therefore 4 balls). Sadly, only two of those is a complete pair. The other two are waiting on a mate.
My current sock is a partner to the first Gush sock I made about three months ago. That pattern is a pain - the results are lovely, but it's lacework without the appearance of lace (it makes sense when you see it...) and requires extra attention. I'm done the body of the foot and working on the heel now, but I'm ready to be done with them. My tolerance for such fine work is improving, but it's still kinda icky in large amounts.
Thankfully, one of the "waiting in the wings" patterns is brainless enough that I don't need my head in a pattern every two seconds.
