Achievement unlocked!
I have Knitted A Sock! It's the "basic sock" pattern out of Folk Socks. It only took five and a half years!
I am actually feeling much prouder of the accomplishment than I expected. And, unexpectedly, it even fits! My left foot is warm. Unfortunately I made it out of some strange yarn I bought at a thrift store that's no longer in business, and there's not quite enough in the same color to do a second sock (there's some almost-the-same-color of the same yarn, though.)
And I still haven't figured out the SSK decrease, but, eh, it feels fine, it just doesn't quite look right. :P
And now I don't have any unfinished knitting or crochet projects kicking around and I'm at loose ends.

Um, knit the other sock out of the pair (even if you will have to use a slightly different yarn color)

Start one of the 19th century patterns out of the book, to wear for cosplay, which was the original plan once you had leveled up Knitter of Socks five years ago.

Start one of the non-sock knitting projects you've been saying you will once sock was done, like that Icelandic sweater you bought all that lopi for.

Good now finish up all your unfinished sewing/embroidery/quilting/naalbinding/spinning/weaving/mending/electronics repair/painting projects before you start something new.

(I have the same problem with increases, and a sweater which has been stalled out for years because of it--I can't find a formula for bust darts that doesn't rely on being able to make right- and left-slanted increases.)
