I bought this yarn (Hobbii: Christmas sock wool glitter) with the intention of making socks for last Christmas. I wasn’t able to cast-on until sometime in December, so instead I considered it my “Seasonal Crafting Item” for me to work up Christmasssy yarn without panic-knitting to hit a deadline. The pattern is Vanilla Socks for Dad by Meghan Shufelt (Link to Ravelry).
There are some wonky spots, but for a seasonal amusement I think they’ll do alright. I can’t see him wearing them more than a handful of times.
Thank you! That shiny thread running through gave me a run for my money- I was using gold knitting needles, too! I kept thinking I had a stitch going only to discover I had been just rubbing the needles together like a bad cartoon knitter. lol
These are great! Congratulations and finishing! And wow, it takes a certain commitment to craft along with a love of the recipient to do all this for something you can’t see him wearing more than a handful of times. IMPRESSIVE.
