This week's massively overdue finished project pic is these Year of Plenty socks, completed at the end of last year but somehow never posted. Oops!

I picked up the pattern as part of the @fastenoffyal 2024 and had to modify it to use my usual 64 stitches for a better fit.

This was also my tester project on mini circulars, which was a bit of a learning curve!

My knitted sock drawer is officially getting too full...
