** Knitting Content **
I'm in the midst of making a pair of socks. I'm making them for a man, which in and of itself is a challenge. They don't really make yarn in "man" colors. I looked all over the internet to try and find something that a man would be willing to put on his feet. I finally settled on Socks that Rock in Shadow. The next hurdle is that all I know is the shoe size of the intended recipient. I don't have easy access to the feet in question, so I have to guess on number of stitches and such. Here's what I've got:
Sadly, that is my foot, and it fits me just fine. This leads me to believe that there is no way that this will be a comfortable fit for a 6 foot, 200 pound man. I may have to go back to the drawing board on these.

...or you could just keep them for yourself. I've not worked up the courage yet to make man-socks. All of the men I'm related to get scarves and hats. When you see that I've started either man-socks or a man-sweater, you'll know I've either reached knitting knirvana or lost my mind. The latter is far more likely.
I suggest you get some tips from Son on his snazzy socks for men. Though removing said socks looks to be painful.
All my man socks come from the numbers that I got from the first pair I knit for DH. It seems to work as I got good reviews from little bro and BIL from last Christmas.
