Another project done and ready for gift giving.
Dear hubby asked for socks very early this fall, hoping he would have them in time for his annual hunting holiday. But I just couldn't get into it, I wasn't in the mood for socks,especially men's socks. So even with his encouragement to knit them in any colour and use any pattern, hunting season came and went without a new pair of socks to call his own.
But I think he will be very happy to see these worsted alpaca yarn socks under the tree on Christmas Eve!
Pattern: from the book Getting Started Knitting Socks (author Ann Budd)
Yarn: Misty Haven Alpaca
Colour: Natural brown
I added a bit of red yarn for the heel, toe and a couple of stripes from leftover yarn.
I like the red with that brown! Sure he'll apreciate them, even if he isn't surprised (he doesn't read your blog?).
ReplyDeleteSomehow, all the socks I knit, end up being my size ;)
He doesn't read my blog, I don't talk about tractors so it would be of little interest to him. LOL
ReplyDeleteMMM, this could be the subject of a good post this week.
