This is what I completed this weekend:
Those hairy legs are my husband’s hairy legs. These are his socks. His alpaca-merino, not-dyed-in-pretty-colors-even-though-I-wanted-to handmade socks. I did a reinforced heel and toe, because he likes to walk a lot.
They are, however, definitely winter socks. He put them on for the pictures and immediately started sweating. He was, however, smiling because, you know, handmade socks feel soooo gooooood!
