Since last Christmas, Dad has been hinting around that he wants another pair of hand knit socks. According to my mom, he has been wearing the first pair I made him nonstop and even has a hole in the heel. Now THAT is a compliment!
Dad doesn't get online much, so I present this year's socks for him before I wrap 'em up.
Pattern: Mount Airy Socks by Mary Lukas
Yarn: Malabrigo Sock in Reflecting Pool
This is the same pattern I used for Alex's Ernie-sweater socks. I really love this pattern, especially with a beautiful solid color like this one.
Did you notice that the diagonal lines go in different directions on the socks? I think that's a nice little touch. My dad probably won't notice, but that's fine as long as he's wearing holes and showing all his hand knit socks some love. :)
Those are beautiful!
