Finished Dad's socks... 



Went home this weekend to visit, and stole a picture of last year's chunky socks.



Compare that to a closeup of the new pair:



It's not that these are particularly tender socks that wear away easily.  The wear can be attributed to the massive amount of use that they get.  It is nice to make things that get used!

That's one more thing that can be put away for the holidays.  Now I have to start getting creative!

I am amazed how well the wool has stood up to all the hard wear. The new socks look great.
