My brother was here to visit me two years ago and I said I wanted to knit a pair of socks for him. I took him to my lys and once the owner showed him the sock yarn, we set him free. He came back ten minutes later with enough yarn for three pairs of socks (four or five if you include the secondary colours for the toes and heels). I started the toe and made it to the heel and then stopped…for about 2 years. I got back into it by finding a nice heel construction and kept at it until I finished them today.
The model is my husband whose feet are a little bit smaller. I wish I would have put in another yellow stripe, but overall am pleased with how they look. Hopefully, they will fit my brother to a tee. Since he’s three provinces over from us, I had to rely on a piece of paper (with his foot traced on it) to make it the right size.
Anyway, I’m glad my knitting project didn’t turn out the same as my cooking project :mrgreen:
