Instead of working on the socks, I finished my mothers sweater. I just have to wash it and put the buttons on. I have since started the cover sweater from FCEK for me and have been working away on that. I am using up old yarn leftover from another project and hope I have enough. I plan to make the sleeves shorter and crop the top but if I am still short I will look for some online as it is an old, discontinued yarn. I have a guild meeting next week so I will rip back the sock beforehand and ask one of the sock knitters there to check what I am doing and see if they have any tips for me to avoid the holes.
