The first FO of the year

My first FO of the year is a pair of socks. It's a gift for K.




The quick info: Started Christmas Eve last year. Finished January 3rd of this year.


Yarn: Smooshy! by Dream In Color. Colorway: Cloud Jungle. It was a gift from La Canadienne.


Needle Size: US 1 (2.5 mm)


Pattern: Simple Garter Ridge Socks from Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch


Comments: Easy pattern to memorize. It would have been a quick knit, but K has pretty big feet. Those are his feet in the pictures. He wears a US Men Size 11. (That's almost 12 inches for the foot!)


In other news, I realize that I have way too much sock yarn. So, this year I am going to dedicate myself to knitting socks. I might knit an occassional sweater, scarf, hat, or mittens, but it will be all socks all the time. (But don't hold me to that! :-) )

2008 = year of the socks, huh? Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Great socks for the BF, by the way...

Those turned out great! Knitting for men is so difficult, what with them being so much bigger than us and all. I want to knit hubby a sweater, but it's such a big undertaking!
