So after finishing up my oblique (which I seem to not be able to take off Im so in love. haha) I decided that it was high time to FINISH my hippo socks. Now Ive been knitting them on and off since January I think thats long enough dont you?

The pattern really is simple and lovely. These would have been done ages ago if I didnt put them to the side for everything else I ended up knitting (3 cardigans)
So now I have those finished and nothing else to knit what should I do? Oh I know what! I pulled out the yarn the I got at xmas time for a pair of socks that was the same colour as another pair (so I got some different stuff but kept the same coloured one back) and Im now knitting the mister wonderful a pair of socks. He doesnt know this and hes told me not to knit him any. But TO BAD! Im stubborn and doing it anyways. :)

These are the Gentleman Socks from Fiber Fool. All I wanted was a simple pair to knit for him but I didnt want something that was goiing to make me bored. I hope he likes them once Im finished and that he wears them. Ive barely knit on them since Ive started yet the pattern works up quickly.
Hopefully Ill be showing of a finished sock well pair of socks soon enough. :)
