These socks were originally meant for my dad's Christmas present, but they didn't get done. I started having swollen itchy eyes and I suspected the yarn was possibly the irritant that was causing it. So, I set them aside, bought him a pair of smartwools and figured I'd pick them up again later if I felt like I could handle it. And, eventually I could and I did.
Is it weird to give your dad wool socks for his birthday at the end of May? I just might, because I would have a really hard time saving this for next Christmas. When I make something for somebody, it is SO hard to not just give it to them immediately. Pattern is Thuja
Yarn is Berroco Vintage
Ravelry project is here
But think of what a good jump you will have on your Christmas gifts for next Christmas! I say hold on to them and you will be set for the holidays.
