The Mister would like you all to know that he has learned a lot about sock construction. For instance, he knows that this part of the sock
is the gusset (and he pointed it out entirely unprompted my this knitter). More proof that my knitty talk is rubbing off on him? After I finished taking these shots, he pulled the socks off, handed them to me, and said, "You still have to block them, right?" Oh, Mister!
The Mister is definitely a keeper! Great job on the socks and Mister training.
ReplyDeleteNice work there! My sock blockers are just for photo taking. I usually wear mine at least once between on the needles and first washing. Although I was really loving today's weather, I'm the tiniest bit sad to see sock-wearing weather coming to a close. Oh well!
ReplyDeleteI love that he asked you to block them! Ah yes, a well-trained knitty man is a find indeed. ;)
ReplyDeleteBlock them? mine knows better - blockers are for pictures (grin) feet are excellent blockers (especially since I don't do anything other than hang them on the line after washing)
ReplyDeleteOh he is a keeper!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a guy! Has he started sniffing yarn yet like my guy? I caught him doing it again a few days ago.
ReplyDeleteThe socks are wonderful. I love that color. Yummy.
Your Mister sounds like my Mister. I think they are both a wee bit proud of the fact that they know what a gusset is :-)
ReplyDeleteI never thought about using Baby Ull for a pair of socks. It's really soft.
