New socks for John! I nearly finished these late last night.
In a rather uncharacteristic bit of wisdom, I decided to wait to do the toe grafting this morning. I woke up at 4:30, couldn’t go back to sleep, and finally got up and finished. At that I ended up screwing up the Kitchener and ripping out half of it to re-do.
It’s the same old pattern, 2.00 mm needles. The yarn is Regia Premium Merino Yak. It is insanely soft, we’ll see how well it holds up to sock wear. I ended up using 38 grams of the grey yarn and 66 grams of the teal for these.
A couple more photos:
Yes, that is considered fashionable footwear where we live.
I still owe you a finished project post for that sunshine-y shawl I finished recently. It will be sunny outside this weekend so I’ll get John to take some photos for me.
I was born in Seattle and grew up in Portland, and can testify that Birkies with socks, especially handknit socks, are absolutely the cat’s pajamas locally.
John can move from model to photographer? A Renaissance Man!
I do love that too that if I can’t sleep – no worries – I get up and knit for a bit.
I love them! As for the Birkies, my husband has the same exact pair!!
