In Which the Pirate Makes Matching Socks.

I got a cone of Christmas-striped yarn to make some hats for the holiday market, and then thought it’d be funny for me to wear a pair of Christmas-striped socks to my inlaws. But y’know what would be even funnier than that? If Michael and I showed up wearing matching Christmas-striped socks. Every year, MIL is more and more enthused about whatever socks I happen to be wearing, and whatever other knitting projects I’ve brought with me. Last year, she suggested that I should wear mismatched socks just so she could see more of them. (I’m 100% sure she’s being genuine about this and not mocking me. At least 98% sure.) Anyway, I knit roughly 87% of these socks. Michael put some work into the fourth one at Public Knitoxication and during a road trip earlier in the year, so it was a collaborative effort. It’s my job to remember whose socks have the 1×1 ribbing (his) and whose have the 2×2 (mine) – the photo doesn’t really show it, but his socks are slightly bigger than mine.
