Boyfriend Curse

We all know the boyfriend curse.  It can really hamper some knitters styles.  I find that if you don't date guys who wear sweaters it's really not a problem.  Now, socks.  Well, it's hard to find a guy who doesn't wear socks. 

I was bored working at my LYS one night, so I sent a text to CB and asked his shoe size.  Apparently, I didn't take the Harlot's advice on the size of a man's feet when I picked this boyfriend.  He wears a size 11 shoe.  So without ever asking him if he wanted a pair of socks, I embarked on a new project.  Do you know how many stitches there are in a size 11 sock?  Me, neither, but it's a lot!!!  I finished the socks in about two weeks.  Well, I finished the knitting, anyway.  Then they sat in my living room floor in a pile of yarn and projects in various stages of the creative process.  For about 3 months.  Last night CB came over to watch movies, so while we sat on the couch I wove in the yarn ends and tossed them in his lap.  He likes them. 

BFSocks

They're made from 3 skeins of Regia Silk in charcoal gray.  The pattern is from Sensational Knitted Socks, but I don't remember which one, and since CB is snuggled up next to me on the couch, again, I'm not gonna go look.  :)
