The 7 Year Project...Revisited

Many of you have probably already read my 7 Year Project post. If not, find it here. Long story short, it took me 7 years to finish one pair of socks.

Here's the finished product:
Again, if you read the story, you know that I would never be able to wear these colorful socks. I thought I would just store them and look at them every once in a while and be proud of actually finishing the darn things.

But I really need some yarn and I'm lacking in my personal stash. I packed the socks around with me for a couple days and then finally I did this...

I must admit that it was really hard for me to undo this project that has been hanging over my head for so long. However, once they were unraveled I was excited about the possibilities!

I have already made a pair of Mittenettes which I love. (Did you get that? A Pair! That's right, I finished both of them....) I am making another pair right now....just without that crazy rainbow yarn. Found millions of patterns online, but the one I used is here.

Voila! Something new from something old!
