Done!
But, look:
There are a few short spots in the yarn (Cherry Tree Hill - Twilight), which were undyed!
My optimistic hope is that when I wash them the dye will run the teensy tiniest bit & color these few stitches of white. As “someone” would say…that is overly excessively excessive.

Started new sock from stashed yarn:
2mm Brittany birch needles
cast on 56

Ordered this Cherry Tree Hill sock yarn on Fri night after finding DBNY in Ravelry.
I can’t wait to get my order!
Worked on the Brotherly Sock in the FREEZING foyer area (our ski place was at capacity) of the lodge while the boys went snowboarding & skiing. My hands were so cold knitting on 2mm metal [...]
