Dad's Mismatched Socks

Weaving a web of yarn, community, and spirituality

If someone tells you that you can get one pair of men’s socks from just one skein of sock yarn, they are a filthy liar.

The first sock of the pair turned out great.

The second….not so much. See that? That’s what happens when you run out of yarn and can’t find a matching gray.

I’m telling myself it won’t matter since they’ll be hidden by his shoes. And I’m not even sure he’ll notice.

Still. Mismatched socks. Not my finest moment.

I second the comment about making sure that your dad doesn't wear them with socks. My dad would and it would just be painful to see. Fathers. *shakes head*

That definitely sucks.

While my father certainly wouldn't notice...if you're worried, you could always rip back the toe of the all-striped first sock and do it in the plain light grey, so at least that way they match...::ducks and waits for things to be thrown at his head::

Aw, that sucks! Who are these filthy liars? I need to put them on my hit list.

But you're right, he won't notice and/or care. Because I know your dad is like my dad, make sure to send a note saying that these socks SHOULD NOT be worn with sandals.
