Socks Time

I actually finished five pairs of socks last year.  They are socks which means I often don't take pictures.
I did take pictures of my Hearts n' Hugs Lace socks.  I adapted the pattern some.  I did one more repeat for the legs and ended the hearts before getting to the toes.  I find that they are a bit more comfortable if the design doesn't go all the way into my shoe.  It is a nice pattern but I don't think it is available any more.  The yarn is Knit Picks bare out of my Mom's stash.
These are Gentleman's Plain Winter Sock with Dutch Heel.  It is my go to pattern for my husband.  The heel does well for his feet and it makes his socks easy to identify in the wash.  There isn't much chance of mixing socks up.  These are wild for him but he has been wearing them.  They were picture worthy because they aren't black, dark blue, or grey.  I believe the yarn is Opal Magic.  Opal does lots of themes and my German is pretty much non-existent.

The other three pairs of socks were also Gentleman's Plain Winter Sock with Dutch Heel.
