I knitted these socks for my dad for Christmas. Originally, I was going to knit a pair for my mum too but I don't knit very fast and I ran out of time. I knitted them from this pattern which was meant for much smaller needles than the ones I used. As a consequence my socks were MASSIVE but, as he has been given crap homemade presents for approximately 27 years now, dad is used to this and professed to love them.
