What about...

...Monkey Wrench's favorite uncle's socks?

Weaver! You are a thorough reader. I didn't even remember that I mentioned his socks on here. but I did. Wow.

So I started these using Knit Picks Essential Tweed in Flint. I thought this would be really cool. Again, as it was knitted I realized that USS (Ugly Sock Syndrome) may have set in. That is why it was so easy to set these aside for kick-ass sister sweater.

I brought the half-done sock to Hubby and explained that it may be ugly. After some conversation, I think we both agree that they may be ugly. It's the fleck color choice. Primary. Red, Blue, Yellow on Gray. Looks like a bad 80's color scheme. The online picks are more than deceiving. When he tried them on and when there is some distance between your eyes and the sock, they aren't bad. If you squint and wear long pants, you're good!

We agreed that I would finish them, but I know that Hubby will probably stash these at the back of the sock drawer or "lose" one of them. I don't think I can fault him though. I am making his socks out of the cheap yarn. ha!


Heel flap.
