These days, my relaxation comes in the form of sock knitting. I've been working on a pair for Vee and have a few gifts planned for Mother's Day and my dad's 60th birthday in May. With a crazy April ahead of me, I don't think I can finish 2 pairs of socks in the next 5-6 weeks but I'll give it the old college try. Luckily for me, punctual gift-giving has never been a Thomas family strength so expectations are low!
After checking this book out from the library, I picked up my own copy last week:
Knit Socks!
Betsy Lee McCarthy
There are definitely enough good designs in here to justify owning a copy. The "Classy Slip-Ups" I'm making for Vee are coming along well. They're so stretchy and cozy -- I want my own pair! I'm planning to make the same pattern for my dad (in camo colors, of course) and a lacy chevron-style striped pair for my mom. I FRIGGIN' LOVE KNITTING SOCKS!
