Even longer if you count the time spent trying to get the recipient to select a yarn.
It was an on again, off again project. Months of work and months of not touching the yarn, the needles or even the measurements.
There were highs, when precious stitches were saved and new techniques learned, and there were lows, when inches of ribbing were ripped back and stitches were left hanging in the air and needles snapped in my hands.
Was the journey worth the effort?
Perhaps.So far my roommate seems happy with his new socks.
(Of course that might be because I have made it clear that he will be happy with them or else.) (The kitten thinks she has a new something to chew holes into.)

A few days ago, in a fit of "it would work if I knit it this way", I cast on for a new stuffed toy.
This one is a secret surprise for a friend of mine who happens to like pink birds.
Can you guess what it is?
