I'm finally finished. For such simple socks that weren't much bigger than the ones I normally make, this was a total ordeal. I had trouble picking a pattern, I had trouble not screwing up something as simple as garter rib, I had knots in the yarn (unusual for Lorna's Laces). These things were cursed from the get-go. All I can hope for is that they'll fit my dad. I'll find out on Friday.
