Can Ya See Me Now?

I've never been a fan of camouflage clothing. I come from a family of all girls and camo wasn't something we were into. Now though, I have sons. This takes some getting used to. For a long time I didn't buy them camo and, when asked, I'd tell them they didn't need camo because they were going to school, not out hunting.
A couple of years ago, I finally caved and bought them some camo clothing. Little did I know, Patrick would dress as if his life depended upon being camouflaged. Shirts, pants, jackets and even underwear. That faded with time but he still does enjoy the occasional piece of camo clothing.
Can you see them? I know they're well hidden but if you look hard enough they're there.
I was going to use a design pattern but decided that the yarn itself was colorful enough and used Anna's Basic Sock Pattern from the Cascade site. I made these before and they're a great easy sock pattern.
I'm making Glenn a pair of hand warmers but don't tell him. I got a pattern on Ravelry made specifically for a man's bigger hand. Worsted yarn and a fast knit. I started yesterday and I'm on the increases already.
I know I haven't been blogging much lately but I promise to get back to it. Been a busy summer but now that the boys are in school, I can get my knit on and share it with you.

I like the colors of the socks, but I too never understood the appeal of wearing camo on a day-to-day basis.
