The Fancy socks for The Husband are finished! I’m much happier with the new toes (the ones where I actually followed the pattern since I had to rip back because I’d run out of yarn).
Before (on my feet) – seriously, do you see these toes?!?
After (on TH):
Pattern: Gentleman’s Fancy Sock
Designer: Nancy Bush
Yarn (main): Lorna’s Laces Solemate in Bigger on the Inside
(toes): Cascade Heritage Silk in 5631 (gray)
Needles: 2.25mm
Comments from The Husband: “Those turned out good. Nice job.” (This is high praise as he’s not yet a handknit sock cult member – but I’m not worried. I can see him walking towards the dark side and on his feet….are handknit socks.)
Ps. Check out what others have finished at Tami’s Amis and Wisdom begins in Wonder and Natural Suburbia

I’m kind of cheating because this isn’t my finished object, but it is super cool and Turtle said I could blog it, so here we go.
She used this tutorial for a double-pointed needle holder to make me my very own one of a kind…….
Knitzi Holder!
I’m super excited because my Knitzis are really pretty wooden handmade sock in progress holders that The Husband has given me and I hate to think of them getting dusty on my hobby room shelves in between socks.
Didn’t she do a fantastic job?!? I love it! Thank you, Turtle!!!
