It's notsummer any more, but...

They are bedsocks for my husband. They don't match, yes I do know that they don't match. I was tryign to work out what works for him. Now I know...

1. 72 stitches - yes, what an awful lot of stitches
2. 3.25mm needles - they are bedsocks and don't have to be super durable
3. lots of ribbing to keep them on
4. 2x2 ribbing is better than 1x1 ribbing
5. he doesn't care if there is a cable on it or not - they are just bedsocks!
6. i need to start the decreases 1/2 an inch later than I normally would.
   

They fit! Woohoo!
