I'm going to knit some socks for my brother for Christmas, and I showed him this pattern as an example of cables, and he said he liked the pattern.
Soooo. Do you think it would be too girly if I used this yarn?
It's one of the ones I dyed with black bean.
So far two nice twitter folks said no, one said it wouldn't be "too girly". Hmmm.
I think it will be okay - it seems to have a little brown/grey in it, and that will make it completely fine. Plus, your brother is very secure in his masculinity, is he not? ;-) Love the pattern, though - way too hard for me (I'm still doing basic pattern and, like training for the marathon, looking to bring down my completion time...).
ReplyDeleteI would say it would depend on his style and if Suzanne is correct and he is very secure in his masculinity then it would work. I do know plenty of men that only wear black, brown or blue socks. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, my mom says no, so that's decided it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your input though Suzanne and Michelle!
Lovely yarn but if the color isn't manly enough, add some brown as a pattern in the cuff, heel or toe.
