#1 Husband Socks and Pattern
Hey people!
I've designed and knit another pair of socks for Lonnie, my#1 Husband. Don't ya just love the remotes?! of course i added guitar picks cause lonnie is a guitar player (a very good one), but the remotes just say husband all over the place, don't they, girls?! These are a fun, quick knit with a st. pattern that is attractive for a man (fyi, click on photos to enlarge) and my man loves them! I used 3 skeins of Regia Cotton on size 1 (2.5mm) circs, although I wrote the pattern for the more universal dpns and generally speaking, socknitters that prefer another method can easily knit this pattern.

FIVE remotes?! I thought I was the only one who couldn't get a universal remote to work for all the stuff attached to our TV.

Oh, the socks are great as well. Lucky husband.

Thanks, everyone! He loves them...I have lovingly created this "Gotta have my socks hand knit" monster! As I told a friend earlier, I had planned a year of knitting lacy shawls of all sizes and types, instead, socks for Lonnie...but, hey, I'm happy to do it! I have many, many more yet to knit for him

LOL, you think that those are all of our remotes?! Those were just some sitting around the living room! Off of the top of my head I can think of 8 more around the house!!!!!
