He said he wanted a sweater to which I laughed. So we compromised on a pair of socks. Not ever having knit a pair I listened to the yarn shop lady who sold me an "easy" pattern. Top down and not easy. Almost 4 years later he still only has a sock and a half. flyingjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160022751157014548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3333942184181279562.post-58403094491953835942013-01-23T20:51:01.873-05:002013-01-23T20:51:01.873-05:00I find it so wonderful that your husband not only ...I find it so wonderful that your husband not only appreciates hand knits but is also excited about them!
