So you found a colour that he liked and would actually wear then?! - way to go!
I love the colour of both pairs of socks. I bet you are glad you didn't knit them in plain navy or black now? Sock buddies LOL
Any man should be proud to wear those.
Colin, darlin'~~~you've outdone yourself~~AGAIN~~they're both gorgeous!
I hope your sweetie, John enjoys them!! Hugs Jean S
They look great - and congrats!!? 26 years is quite an accomplishment for any couple- working on 22 here
Ya-a-a-ay Colin. John's socks are the epitome of a well crafted
garment, and understated elegance. Wow, the wild and crazy colour! Good
for John, stepping out of his box. Oh, and your new socks are great,
too, I really do like funky socks to wear myself.
i love the socks, i love the anniversary, and i love those sweaters and dogs. What really great reading with my morning coffee. Love, fashion and pets. Who can ask for any better reading ??
the sweaters are fabulous i would like to hear more about where you buy your yarn and more info on it.
both pair are very nice and look well fitted. I think I will need to
teach myself the short row heel. I like the wayit looks. well done!
Love both pairs of socks Colin. You certainly give me something to aspire to.
Congratulations to you and John on 26 years together.

Great socks Colin. Wonderful knitting job and perfect fit.
I am a new sock knitter and promised a pair to my Dentist. I chose the same color yarn as the your blue pair in your blog pic. It is Trekking.
Dr. wears wears a 43 English loafer. Tell me, in US terms, is that around a size US 10?
I hope you two have another 26 years together. Congratulations.
Anything special planned for the celebration?
Your socks are wonderful!! So very PERFECT!! What even stitches! Ruth in NJ
Great socks, both of them. Happy anniversary! Marcella
Very nice socks! I've used both those yarns, and enjoyed them.
both socks are absolutely fabulous!
That's one perfect looking sock!
Happy Anniversary, too.
Dear Colin (and John)
Happy Aniversary! My grandmother would say, "Who says modern marriages don't last!!" My John and I have been married for 33 years now and I wouldn't change a thing. I wish you many, many more happy years together.
BTW, regarding hip pain - I find that when my pillow is too high it increases the pressure (and pain) on my hips. I also have a memory foam mattress and find it helps but does not eliminate the pain. Also, don't be afraid to baby your hips - especially while exercising. I found that strenthening the muscles (gently) helps a lot. But, walking too quickly or vigorously hurts and sets me back. All the best, Denise (Ilse's Granny)
Hi Colin,
Love both socks, your's and John's. Like the idea of the ribbing
stopping a little before the heel. Beautiful work, thanks for sharing.

Those are two stunning pairs of socks1 Glad you found a happy (neutral) medium for John's socks. They show your lovely even knitting off to a T! I am a color person myself, so I think your socks are even more smashing. Well done!
Hi Colin, your work is so lovely. Thank you for sharing your work with us and the socks are just so 'cool'!!! The colors are crisp and bright, the workmanship is incredible. I hope one day I can be just as good. . .
