Birthday Socks

Birthday socks are my favorite socks to make.  Especially this time of year.  Giving warm birthday socks in the dead of summer seems off, but making them now seems just right.

These little numbers were knit with this yarn.  They are a virgin wool/polyamide blend which means they are superwash.

I tend to try to veer away from colorful variegated yarns because they are almost impossible to match, but I really like this yarn.  It's thick and warm and the perfect amount of soft for surfing on hard wood floors.  Exactly what a now-34-year-old man would look for in a sock.
