Finished: Socks for Dad
Second finished object of 2006: Socks for my dad, pictured with a pair finished in late 2005 for my mom. Dad's are made from Knitpicks Simple Stripes in color Storm, with Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Pewter for the heels, toes and ribbing. Mom's are made with my own handspun merino with commercial eggplant-colored sock wool for the heels and toes, I think by Lang but I can't remember. Label long gone.
Now I'm starting the second sock of a simple pair for Josie in a wacky white with confetti speckles, and then I get to swatch for my Knitting Olympics sweater, Tubey, which I'm knitting solid not striped in Knitpicks Wool of the Andes in a dark blue called Winter Night. John is excited about me in ribbing. Form fitting and all that. Men. Except, of course, when he gets all excited about me in ribbing he lets me buy yarn...

Nice socks
I like the socks! I just finished a pair of slipper socks but mine are crocheted. It is my first finished project of 2006
Mom gave away her socks
Mom later gave away that pair of socks to a friend, the minx. To be fair, it was as a thank-you gift for some dishes the friend gave me, but she didn't give me a chance to knit something for that friend! Ah well, it's all good.
