"Absolutely!"
"Mom, can I pick out the colors?"
"Absolutely!"
He picked out a manly color scheme. For 2 months he has been asking me when I'm going to make his socks. I finally got them done for him. Devin wore them for these pictures and then promptly took them off. He says he'll never wear them again because they're itchy. Uh...bummer.
I could beg and plead and bribe him to wear them. But the truth is I'm not really thrilled with them myself. The yarn is self striping which I love. But I was too lazy to match the stripes. I didn't think it would bother me. Does it? Absolutely!
I did learn how to do an after thought heel. It seems to work up a lot quicker. And I also learned to do Russian Grafting instead of Kitchener which is simply brilliant! So these socks are not a complete loss, I schooled myself on sock knitting.
Russian Grafting video, buh bye kitchener!

Those are darling! I marvel at you knitters. I've made many hats, a couple sweaters, and need to get back into it. But socks??? They look too hard! :-)
Thanks for stopping in today. You're right about hats and cold weather. Cold weather has a way of keeping one humble.lol
What yarn did you use? I love knitting socks for my family but I don't want to work that hard to have someone say that they are not going to wear them because they are itchy!
