I did it! I finally did it!
I managed to knit BF's Christmas cashmere socks on the sly when he was traveling earlier this month. He never saw me knitting these. Usually, I'm knitting away on the sofa right next to him while we're watching football. This year I was stealth. I even managed to hold off this post until after Christmas. This is a good thing. Everyone in my family knows I can't keep a surprise secret. I get too excited and usually blurt it out. Maybe I'm growing up?
Here are the details:
- 2 skeins Jade Sapphire 6-ply Cashmere
- US Size 5 needles
- I cast on 48 sts for this sock. I think next time I should cast on 50 or 52.
The only bad part is that I also gave BF a pair of fleece socks. I think he might have actually liked them more than his handknit socks. Hmmmmm.
No, he simply couldn't !

Congratulations!
The fleece socks will be less popular when it gets a little warmer. :)

Cashmere --- :::swoon:::
I imagine they feel just lovely and soft! But, fleece .... so warm!
Congrats on the finish AND on keeping the secret.
