Since the last thing the spouse would ever do is to read a knitting blog, I feel safe showing the progress I have made on his birthday present. I finished one pair of socks and made a watch cap to match. The cap pattern came from an old Patons booklet. Top of the cap looks pretty funny in the picture, but looks fine when the cap is on someone's head.
I have one sock done on the second pair. It is the same sock pattern (52 sts on Size 4 needles) but the stitch pattern is from the Blueberry Waffle Socks. All items are made from Woolease.
The spouse requires new hats from time to time. He loses them, shrinks them, burns them up (hanging to dry too close to the heater), and wears them out. This may be California, but it can get down to the 20's some years, so he needs a cap for working in the yard and for driving to work.
