I was recently informed that I have to knit a pair of Man Socks. This is not news, as the man picked out the yarn for his socks during our vacation last fall. Unfortunately, I just got my Spring IK, and am dying (DYING) to knit Eunny’s entrelac socks. But, they will wait. For now, I am knitting Man Socks.

Hopefully my gauge is OK. I’m not using a pattern for these, just extrapolating my basic 64 stitch stockinette sock for a bigger, more manly foot. No use in making a gauge swatch, since that would take just as long as knitting a few inches of sock. After I get past the ribbing and into the stockinette, I’m going to take the sock of the needles and see if it is way too big. I fear that I cast on a few too many stitches, but will wait and see how it goes. Keep your fingers crossed.
