I still owe the finished picture if my #Socktober socks - 2 pairs are done and a third already cast on

The first finished pair

A handdyed blend of 75% wool, 25% nylon, but the wool is #BFL or Bluefaced Leicester. I like that breed for spinning, as it's nearly as soft as merino, but with a longer staple and because of that it has a bit more luster and is a bit sturdier. In theory. But you don't find much yarn made from it

Trying to encompass the full extend of what BIFL means to me ("Buy It For Life"):

- Lasts a long time.
- Doesn't go obsolete easily.
- Simple timeless design and aesthetic that wont feel "dated" easily.
- Reliable time-tested construction which doesn't have unforeseen bugs, issues and failures.
- A new version with a few tweaks doesn't come out every year or so to entice me.
- Can be repaired.
- Can buy the same one again in 10+ years time if lost or destroyed.
