Jeffy's Socks

Jeffy's Socks Look! My Very First Completed Socks! This was another knitting surprise for Jeffy. I know, I know -- what a treat, eh? Especially since he almost never wears socks. But his birthday was coming up, and I'm currently addicted to socks, so... These were super-fast socks to knit, which is part of the reason I chose them. The yarn is warm and relatively thick. I did something which is apparently a classic sock-knitter thing to do, which was to give him one completed sock and one sock still on the needles. I wasn't convinced that I had the sizing right, so instead of ripping two socks out, I figured I'd just rip one out if necessary. Turns out, it was necessary; the socks were too big, but if I'd gone around measuring his foot, it really would have given away the surprise. (I think they're still a bit big, but he assures me they're fine, so I'm letting it go. But if I make him more, ever, they're going to be a bit smaller.) Pattern: Knitty's Thuja Yarn: King Cole Merino Superwash Wool
