DrWhose Socks?
Scene: Average suburban loungeroom, couple relaxes after dinner.
DrCris: By the way, I don’t offer it anymore, because I know you don’t like handmade stuff, but I will knit or sew you whatever, if you want. So make sure you ask. I just decided to stop asking.
DrHusband: Umm. Sorry. I like the idea of hand-knit socks, but I just hate scratchy socks.
DrCris: No worries. I am fine with it. Just letting you know. And I don’t find hand-knit socks that scratchy. Just the ones my Nan used to knit. All the others are fine.
DrHusband (holding up foot): Do you think you could knit a pair as soft as these? I would wear them.
DrCris: You mean that pair of socks I knit you ten years ago and you claim that you never wear? That you are now obviously wearing and thinking are shop-purchased.
DrHusband: So, yes, then.
DrCris: I had better buy some manly sock yarns. (NB: All subsequent stash enhancement is obviously DrHusband’s fault).

These socks are knitted from Regia Design Line Kaffe Fassett, which was gifted to me from a knitting friend. I made a basic topdown sock with a flap heel. I used a spiral rib for the leg and instep, which is mirrored on each sock.
Not knowing my sizes for DrHusband’s feet, I cast on 64sts for one (the right foot) and 72 for the other (left foot). He likes the 64st sock better, so now I know. My Ravelry project page is : DrWho Socks (must have be a rav member to access).
I love how this yarn knits up - random colours with lots of surprise. It made a simple pair of socks quite fun to knit.
