Let the seaming begin!
September 11, 2007 at 10:17 am | In Socks, knitting, reid | 2 CommentsI was able to finish the last sleeve and dunk all the pieces in water yesterday. They dried overnight. I might be able to work up the shoulder seams tonight.
I also took all of Hubby’s measurements and cast on for the first ever Husband Sock. I am such a lucky knitter; his foot has only a 9″ circumference and is only 9 3/4″ long. And he has skinny calves (because he used to be a track guy.) At 7 spi, I cast on for a 60 stitch sock (size 2.25mm needles!). How awesome is that?
Now my only decision is whether I should do the whole leg in 2×2 rib, or if I should just do a cuff, and stockinette for the rest. I’m leaning toward the stockinette option right now.
And of course I don’t have pictures, and even if I did they would be horrible. I’m using Mountain Colors Bearfoot, colorway Larkspur, which is as close to the Plaid colorway of my Embossed Leaves socks as I could find.

I’m with you, stockinette for the foot for husband socks!

Hizzoner’s socks were a 2×2 rib all the way down the foot (sole in stockinette), and it made for a nice stretchy sock. And I hate to do ribbing. What kind of socks does he usually wear?
