These socks seemed like they were endless too. The yarn is Regia Galaxy and it looks like rings of Saturn if you get the correct gague when you knit. Needless to say, I worked hard to get the correct gauge and when I didn’t see the rings forming to my satisfaction, I would rip all or parts and start again, either knitting more loosely or more tightly. It didn’t help that I changed dpn between socks since I didn’t like the 5 inch ones I was using, and even though I stayed on US size 0 needles, the change made a difference. Finally though I am ready to take out the waste yarn and knit the afterhthought heel. Hopefully they will be finished soon.
