The bag o' socks has become a basket o' socks (and 1 pair of mittens because I just could not make myself knit another pair of socks). This was a pretty good idea for an anniversary present, if I do say so myself, although I personally don't think I can repeat this feat, even cheating with so many sport-weight socks in the bunch! Thanks to my patient husband for letting me take pictures before he wore the items and thanks to Captain Jack and M for "assisting", both of whose socks you will spy in the pictures below.

Holy cow. 16 pairs of MAN socks? My hat is off to you! I love those Estonian folk ones best I think!
Wow. That's a lot of socks. How long did it take to knit all of those? I made 15 pairs of socks last year but it took me a whole year to make them. That's a lotta love in that basket.
Thanks, Bezzie and Donna Lee. I started knitting these last April and finished the first 8 pairs or so by the end of June, but the second set of 8 dragged on and on, hence the mittens instead of socks for the 16th :).
