These are some socks that I recently finished for my husband. I have tried on several occasions to make socks for him and I really wanted to, but something always got in the way. The first pair fit me, (oops!), the second pair I didn't like the yarn, and the third pair had a stitch pattern that I just couldn't get into. Well, finally I found the perfect yarn and wallah! socks happened. These were knit from Landscapes yarn from Alpacas with a Twist, (this has recently been discontinued so if you run across some snatch it up quick!). It is a wonderful 50/50 alpaca/silk blend that is really soft while you are knitting with it, but after you wear it a few times it gets super soft. It is a thicker not necessarily for socks yarn which is great for him as he works from home and great for me because I could knit them on size 5 needles. All of that means that I was able to finish the socks off in a few days. So finally my husband gets the treat that everyone else around has already gotten of the luxury of handknit socks!
