my January socks

My winning January yarn was Cascade Sassy Stripes. The pattern I've opted for is a generic top-down sock. Not too exciting, but my husband chose the yarn for himself months ago, and this is what he wants. This will be my first time making "boy" socks.

I cast on last night and thus far have one cuff done.


He intentionally doesn't match his socks, so there will be one sock in each of the colorways:

It will almost be like making two different socks, so maybe this will alleviate second sock syndrome!

What is his theory behind 2 different socks? I like both yarns...should be fun.

you should make "monster socks" with both yarns. Just stripe them until you feel like switching colors and they will be excellent and definitely a rare pair.

There's no really theory behind not matching his socks, he says it's his way of rebelling. I can certainly think of things that would be worse, so I just go with it.
