I think I am starting to get the hang of socks. Years ago, I made a pair for B, and then a pair for C.. and then I abandoned making socks. Then last fall, during Outlander, I made my BFF a pair of socks watching episodes. Last fall, I made her socks, a scarf for my aunt, a hat and scarf for my mom, a hat for my dad, and I believe a few dishcloths. Truly, you can never have enough handmade knitted dishcloths lying around.. I have discovered they make great teacher's gifts...
Now it is a new season, and it was time to pick up the needles again. I made myself a pair of socks, and now it is C's turn. These are his pair. I used this sock recipe Ribbed Socks for Kids (Pattern by Susan B Anderson). It is a great recipe. Everything the kids pairs I made to begin with were not. I made a sock a week! I have left them on the stair so when he comes down the stairs in the morning, he should be able to find them. Now, I am on to making a pair for Brandon... There is truly something satisfying about sitting on the couch, watching a show, and creating a really cool pair of socks.
