SOS-2008 #3 Started

Something super simple, a pair of stocking stitch socks for my father. I had this Socka skein in my stash for a long, long time.. so long that I had no idea what the pattern would be. I assumed that it would be simple dots and lines, but it would appear that I would be in for a surprise



Now I'm not entirely sure that if this yarn is just a tad too exciting for my pop, but it is the summer of socks so I'm going to carry on, nonetheless.

Boy your Dad is lucky to be the recipient of so many socks.

The color is subdued enough that your father may love the socks.

I love those printed yarns that don't really look like much in the ball but give you mock Fair Isle in the round! I'm sure your dad will love the socks - they are made by his daughter, after all.

Looks great!

Wow, third pair already! If they do turn out to be a little busy for your father, it's not too late to change recipient and alter the foot length. You're racing along!
