Whit's Knits: Men's Socks for Giving Away

These socks are designed to warm cold feet. Made out of Koigu's super soft, DK weight Kersti yarn, there are going to be some very toasty feet this winter! But before making these for our husbands, brothers or selves, wouldn't it be great if we all first made a pair for someone really in need? Someone elderly and forgotten or homeless or ill and alone. Someone who least expects it. Someone whose heart might need as much warming as his feet.

Handknit socks aren't exactly a survival requirement, but the feeling of being cared for is. Come to think of it, so is the feeling of caring for others. So for our own well being and for the well being of those less fortunate, the giving of these simple socks is wonderful medicine!

If you'd like to warm some winter feet, please visit my Men's Socks for Giving Away Project Journal. Thanks! - Whitney

Are you sure those are Kersti? They look too lightweight!

Is that my dad modeling your socks? ; ) Honestly, that was my first thought -- my stepmom is always knitting him the BRIGHTEST RED socks. Very fun. And great idea. Thanks.
