![Looks like this evening was peak bluebonnets based on the weather forecast. It’s serendipitous that it happened on spring equinox!
The fun part of this shot is that it was 52F so no need to watch out for snakes! Pretty much my ideal evening!!!

I hope you had a beautiful Monday, Crew! I love you!!!

The Fancy socks for The Husband are finished! I’m much happier with the new toes (the ones where I actually followed the pattern since I had to rip back because I’d run out of yarn).
Before (on my feet) – seriously, do you see these toes?!?
After (on TH):
Pattern: Gentleman’s Fancy Sock
Designer: Nancy Bush
Yarn (main): Lorna’s Laces Solemate in Bigger on the Inside
(toes): Cascade Heritage Silk in 5631 (gray)
Needles: 2.25mm
Comments from The Husband: “Those turned out good. Nice job.” (This is high praise as he’s not yet a handknit sock cult member – but I’m not worried. I can see him walking towards the dark side and on his feet….are handknit socks.)
Ps. Check out what others have finished at Tami’s Amis and Wisdom begins in Wonder and Natural Suburbia

Great socks! Now you’ve done it, the road to the dark side is a fast one ;)

maybe the way to the Dark Side is more like a slide than a road.
Oh my….his socks are very handsome! I’m making my hubby a pair but won’t let him see these since his are just plain. LOL
What a lovely compliment. Thank you!
Those socks are great. I love them.

Thanks!
The socks are very handsome. Not sure if your husband wants to be wearing “beautiful” socks. LOL
He likes them, so I’m a happy camper.
The toes worked out splendidly! I’m sure your husband is going to put these to great use.

Yes, and now, I have coordinating gray yarn to darn with.
Nice socks! I like the way you finished the toes; the color goes well with the body of the sock. As Kaffe Fassett would say, “It’s a design feature!”

Thank you!
Nice looking socks. I do think once you walk around with hand-knit socks on your feet, you are spoiled forever.

agreed!
Gorgeous!
That’s very sweet of you to say. Thanks!
Fabulous socks!
Thank you so much!
LOVE these socks! Both the before and after. I love how they changed up toe looks.
Soon he’ll be converted to the must always wear handknit sock club.

I’ll have to keep ya’ll posted on the status of his conversion. I was pleased when he wore the first plain black pair to work.
Those socks are great, I love the gray toes.
