Mac guy socks

Boy, it seems like I’ve been so busy with my food blog lately with all my baking & cooking this one has been getting a bit ignored.
I made these cupcakes yesterday that I call Love Potion for Valentine’s Day.
I have been working away at Matt’s Mac guy socks (actually the techguy sock from Magknits but Matt prefers Mac guy) & they are finally done.

I had to rip the first sock out 3 times before I had the right size. I though my gauge was 9 stitches per inch on my swatch but one I started knitting in the round it was 8. I need to remember in the round I tend to be looser.
Matt like a shorter sock so these are only 5 1/2 inches to the heel. I’m pretty proud of how nice the duplicate stitching turned out too. This photo shows the colors better too.

Tonight we go out for a fancy dinner at The Grand Cafe, we prefer that to exchanging Valentine’s Day gifts. This year I even made Matt’s card.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.
