So, after knitting the first gray sock for my dad (and test knitting the pattern for Hunter Hammersen), I wasn’t sure if it would fit and I couldn’t have TH try it on because his feet are larger than my dad’s. Now, you can’t just ask any random guy to try on a sock cause that could lead to some awkward conversations and if you’re at work a possible trip to HR. So, I polled a couple of my closest friends at work and one of them was nice enough to volunteer her husband to try on a sock for me…..and he was a very good sport about the whole thing, even let her take photos so I could blog about it!
\nI imagine the exchange went something like this:
“What is this?”
“a sock. Can you please try it on? Katie needs to see if it will fit her dad.”
\"\"<\/a>
\n“You want me to do what?”
“Try it on.”
\"\"<\/a>
\n
“I hope her dad is agile.” (which was nice code for the fact that the sock was tight).
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nI thought that the sock looked like it fit well and wool socks stretch a bit, so I decided to block the daylights out of it and move along to sock number 2.
\n
Thank you, M & M, ya’ll are good sports and I appreciate your willingness to humor me!! :-)
