Wow, awesome! That is one gorgeous sock. I love how the red just pops. And, no. Finishing it was amazing. I have the my Santa and Woodlands Friend sock done and it is at a seamstress. I sew and I measure twice and cut once, however, I was afraid to mess this up and have all my hard work done for nothing. So, you have a job well done. Thanks for sharing. Peace. Pam
