I've stopped making a lot of handmade holiday gifts, but the one constant is socks for my dad.
In the last few years, he has only asked me to repair one pair, but later I found out that he had thrown away a pair of socks that I made because they had holes. I was very mad, and I almost stopped making socks for him. I talked to him and told him I could fix the socks any time.
This year, I decided that instead of buying a new skein of yarn, I'd use scraps. I worried they'd look scrappy (ha, I know), but I think they're pretty cool.
I haven't been able to give these to him yet because of Covid life, but I look forward to the day when I can!
