This pair was finished early this month, but I forgot to get a photo of them before Sport and family moved out of town. But, when I visited last week the socks were sent back home with me - they'd shrunk in the laundry.A cool soak with fabric softener and a blocking session - and Yay! They fit Sport again. He visited yesterday, and I tried to send the socks home with him. But he wanted to keep them at my house, because "Mama doesn't know how to wash them."
SO...since I had several pairs in need of a wash, we had a lesson in hand washing and air drying socks :-) Sport asked for the steps to be written down "with everything in words." Later, he happily took the socks and his detailed washing instructions home with him.

I'm so glad you were able to rescue them back to size. They sure are pretty socks --- oh --- I mean they are HANDSOME socks (since they belong to a boy.)
Ahhhh....how sweet is that! You are getting Sport off on the right foot! (I can't believe he's 7 already!!)
