They are done! I managed to use up pretty much all of both mini-skein sets, and quite a bit of the charcoal yarn, so that is a help to my sad attempts at stash reduction. They are reasonably festive, and I am pretty happy with how they turned out!
They are my standard plain vanilla sock – toe up and two at a time. I’ve been doing more gusset and flap heels lately, but for this one I went back to a short row heel. It fits really well!
Next month will be another plain vanilla pair, but different from my usual. Mr. QuiteaYarn has requested a pair of socks! So in addition to being plain, they will be plain black yarn. He has never requested a pair of socks, or really much knitting from me at all, so it will be interesting to do something not in my own size for a change!
They look great ๐

Your socks are so festive:) I love the way they turned out!
Itโs always nice when someone asks for a hand knit:) Youโll be knitting him socks all the time once he tries them.

I think you should do something wild and crazy for him! ๐ Then again he may not wear it.

I think so too, but no, he absolutely will not wear anything crazy. He might wear gray or navy blue socks, but that is about as wild as he will go

Lord, right?!? That will be a challenge. A few years ago, he requested a cable sweater in black yarn. I did make it, but it was a challenge ๐
