I haven’t posted about my knitting for a while, mostly because I’ve been knitting gifts. Since they’re surprises, I don’t photograph or talk about them – that would spoil the fun!

But I’ve also been knitting socks for Mr. Math. I have this idea that I can clear out at least one corner of my stash. It’s a bit of a quixotic goal, but can’t hurt to try. He really likes these ones.

They’re ribbed socks knit from Briggs & Little Tuffy, one of my fave sock yarns (and spun right here in Canada). The dark grey is called Oxford, and I used up some bits for the red (also Tuffy) and the black (mmmm, something else from the stash!) to jazz them up.Also, here are the socks for him that are currently on my needles – one is done. You might remember that I knit a vest for him from this yarn – it’s Regia six-ply, with colourways designed by Kaffe Fassett. Well, there were three balls left, so he gets matching socks. Here’s the first one – the second is knit to the heel and will be just the same (because I have fussy knitter disease).I also have some lace on the needles (because winter is coming, and I knit lace in the winter) but right now, it just looks like a lump. I’ll show you after it’s blocked.
