Ok, we’ve had a request for a photo…. Hmm, wonder why???  Anyway yes they’re done but they need to be washed and blocked properly.  This is a scan, not a photo because it’s easier, but you’ll get the idea.

Anyway, they’re made from Socka Mexico, by Schoeller & Stahl.  This is the great German yarn company that made printed yarns popular, and is still one of the leaders in this today.  This happens to be a discontinued color, but there are many more beautiful colorways available as the folks at S&S keep producing great variations.

I just used a “plain vanilla” sock recipe sized for a man, with just the alteration of the length of the foot.  Even though Evan has narrow feet for shoes, he has high arches like me so the circumference of the foot at the widest part is the same as an “average” man’s foot.

Of course one of the many pleasures of hand knit, custom made socks is that they fit better.  I have to tell this story that relates to this–I made Son#2 a pair of socks for Christmas, and they were too big in the foot, because I didn’t have his measurements and was just guessing.  He put the sock on, and proceeded to argue with me that it was fine–the heel of his socks was always an inch up the back of his leg!  No, that is NOT fine, it is wrong, and it took very little time to frog the toe back an inch and make them fit.  So there!
