They are done!
I finished up the bold man socks on the weekend. They were an easy knit, but I’m glad to have them done – I’m ready for something new.
As you know, there was nothing fancy with this pair – just simple 2-2 garter rib on the leg and a plain foot. The red really overtakes the purple in these, though the skein was dyed half and half.
But that’s the fun of hand-dyed yarn. You never know how it’s going to knit up!
A scrappy quilter and not a perfect quilter

Love the colour.
Do you add any elastic to the cuff?
I remember my mother knitting in elastic thread to some of her creations, which I why I ask.

Those turned out great Val. Love the color!! 2×2 rib on the leg (entire leg) would drive me crazy to knit (not as bad as seed…but close), but they look SO NICE!!
