I'm not the only person in my house who likes to have toasty toes during wintertime activities. Sadly, Mike's collection of knitted socks is small. I started this pair of socks months ago, and I really wanted to finish these before we departed on our trip. Having a deadline is good motivation for a project like this, because GOSH men's socks are an endeavor.

I'm mostly certain that Mike's socks require twice as much knitting as my own, and honestly, I don't enjoy knitting them as much as I enjoy knitting socks for myself. I feel pretty guilty about this, because Mike LOVES his knitted socks and puts in requests for more on a semi-regular basis. Somehow, they always land at the bottom of my priority list.

These are Syncopation Socks knit in Wollmeise Sockenwolle.  The pattern gets a bit lost in the color scheme, and there's more pooling than suits my preferences, but this is  a solid, basic sock pattern.  Typically, I  would wait a year before knitting Mike another pair of socks, but during my assessment of my own collection, I decided I could let him jump queue.  Since, it's my habit to always take a pair of socks to knit during flights I got a jump on his next pair already, which means he's another day closer to that full sock drawer.

Those colors are dreamy!!! Its very nice that you've already started on his next pair - can't wait to see what that pair will look like!

I think it's time to teach Mike how to knit too! Ha! I can't think of anything better than hand knit socks though - they are so comforting. I only have 5-6 pairs but I love them all!

I cheat with my husband's socks and knit his out of DK weight yarn. This way it's the same stitch count as socks for me, just on longer needles and with a bit longer length in the foot.
