The socks were finished and the ends woven in by Friday evening, wrapped and presented on Saturday not long after I arrived. He wasn't jumping up and down of course nor did he ohh-ed and ahh-d, but he did say thank you and that they are "nice". He even put them on so I can make a few pictures:
Now, let's see if the whole thing works.

LOVE THE SOCKS!!! WHAT MATERIAL ARE YOU USING?
That was 80% wool and 20% Nylon (for strength). Slightly thicker than the usual sock yarn.
cool. i may have a challenge for you :-) i can never have enough hiking socks for cool/cold/wet weather. HL knows i'm going to buy at least one more pair as i wear them and my heavy wool socks frequently. also will be getting another pair of hiking boots this fall. i'll get requirements for you if you're up to it ;-)
Those are beautiful! It's amazing that you made them yourself.. I could never! I love the pattern design you chose. I'm a sucker for pretty socks. :)
May the boyfriend curse strike quickly, my friend!! :D In all seriousness, I do love the sock yarn, they turned out great. ;)
