So it's become a bit of a tradition that every year I make Jeffy a pair of socks. This year, he got these ones, which I'm quite happy with. Not much to tell, really, except that I finished them only two days after his birthday (which is pretty good in sock-knitting-gift-time) and I did the sole in a linen stitch to try and reduce the need for darning later. I will say, however, that the fact that I need to darn his handknit socks means that he's actually wearing and enjoying them, and for that I'm glad.
