<\/a>Socks by Treelight<\/p><\/div> I knitted up some socks for my dad for Christmas, but alas they were a tad too small. Turns out his feet are more 12W than just 12’s…my bad.

\nI’ll end up giving these socks to someone else….once I find them a good home. The fault was definitely on the part of the knitter. I even had someone try them on and tell me they were a bit small, but I told myself I could just block them…a lot. Turns out I couldn’t block them quite that much….trust me, I tried. Turns out boys have really big feet.

\nThe pattern is Whippersnapper<\/a> by Hunter Hammersen<\/a> and I liked it and the Madeline Tosh yarn.

Elegant and easy to memorize. right up my alley!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
