For those who read this blog, you know my husband knits.
Since 90% of knitting patterns are for girls, most of what he knits comes to
me, or to a woman at our church. It’s a lopsided relationship and every time I
decide to right it, I realize:
- One, that my husband is a very broad man
- Two, it would take 3000 yards of any yarn to make a sweater for him
- Three, making a vest isn’t much better since not knitting sleeves would only save me about 1000 yards
- Four, I don’t like most patterns for men’s sweaters and neither does he
My husband, however, surprised me and asked for socks.
SOCKS! Absolutely, I can knit him socks. He actually has small feet for a man
and can fit most large sock patterns. And he loves having socks to match his
outfit. As soon as I could, I immediately cast on Simple Skyp Socks in Sweet
Georgia Superwash Sport. So I am now a happy sock-knitting wife for my happy
sock-loving husband.
And then he asked for a hat…
