I’m feeling a bit bleh creatively right now; I’m hoping to find some time soon to sew or work on the nursery or…something. I don’t know, I’m just not doing anything very cool lately and it’s starting to get to me. That said, here are the socks I knit for my dad for father’s day, which were kind of nifty. The yarn is Trekking XXL wool/nylon with Louet solid black wool heel/toe/cuff. Beaded rib pattern over five stitches on size 1 needles for everything but the sole, which is stockinette on 0s. I used a toe-up pattern from Sensational Knitted Socks.
