My first finished object, however, is cheating. I started these socks on Monday. Not exactly ancient times.
Plain toe-up socks, Merino pur superwash from handgefaerbt.com, colorway: Dwarf Forge
The yarn (and the pair of socks) belongs to my sister. She made herself a pair of socks and promptly left them in Rhinebeck. (Situational irony!) She gave me the leftover yarn to use in my sock yarn blanket, but after I knit one square I weighed it and thought I could get another pair of short socks out of it. Turns out I could get another pair of regular socks out of it. Well done, monster skein of yarn. Well done.
