New sock patterns on the go for Christmas




These socks are for Christmas gifts. Boys wear size 12 & size 13 so more of a challenge to get them finished in time.
All other projects are on hold until these are finished. Then I will post all my pictures of socks for this family together. A total of 7 pairs, sizes 8, 9, 11,12, 2 of size 13 and 1 pair size 14. Whew this is a milestone in my life to complete these on time.

These are the new sock patterns I am working on now for Christmas presents.
These boys wear size 12 & 13 shoes so is more of a challenge to finish them.
