November 2005
These socks -- a birthday gift for my dad -- are from a pattern (Double Diamonds) in an old Patons sock-pattern booklet (No. 113, "Socks by Beehive"). I used 2.5 balls of Patons Kroy (colour: mercury) and four 2.25mm dpns. The diamond pattern is done just with Ks and Ps, with moss stitch inside each diamond. It's a nice pattern. These socks are pretty huge: 11 inches from the top of the cuff to the top of the heel flap. It will be a while before I want to knit gray socks again...
