I try to make a few of the Purl Soho Boot Socks for doc each year; he wears them nonstop all winter (and sometimes even into warmer months) and so he’s always in need of new pairs (I don’t darn once they get holes–terrible, I know, but convince me to add this skill to my bucket, please).

These ones I knit for his first quarantine birthday, and we are already fast approaching a second one. I can’t believe nearly a year has gone by living in this pandemic. The bright colors are one of the few things that bring me joy at this time–knit up using Malabrigo Yarn Rios in sunset for the main color and cosmos for the contrasting toes, heels, and top.
