The "Bait Socks" are quickly nearing completion. As previously mentioned, the intended recipient of these lovely socks will only be allowed to take possession of them if he picks them up in person. In Minnesota. At my house.
If he doesn't haul his cute tushie here, well, I'm pretty sure these socks will fit me too. I still have yet to make a pair for myself...
Here's were we stand today.
I'm quite pleased that I finally figured out the best place to pick up the extra, hole-preventing stitch at the corner of the gusset. If you recently heard a faint exclamation of "Eureka!" on the wind, that was probably me.
Another day or two, and I'll be finished with these. Then it's back to the lace scarf. Then more socks. (For me!)

Where is that pattern from? It looks like a standard sock but there i something odd about it that I can't quite place. I made sauerkraut this month and just pt it in jars which made me think of your demi German self. :)

I vote that the stupid gusset pick ups are way more heinous than the kitchener stitch.

Really pretty color. They look very comfy, too.
