Amore (love in the Italian language)

You know Mr FF and I don't do Valentines, I just looked back at my post last year when Mr FF was more concerned about the state of his much loved car then he was about creating any romance. However, this year I did knit him a pair of Valentine socks in Regia world colour, I got the idea ages ago from Josiekitten. They are of course the colours of the Italian flag and he seems very pleased with them, I heard him on the phone telling a business colleague about his gift. Usually I can manage to knit him socks whilst sitting beside him, he never notices what I'm doing, but these were far too obvious and had to be made in complete secrecy. Now I'm not sure which he loves best, me, his car or Italy.

Let me leave you with a belated Valentine's gift, one of my favourite Italian songs, I love Italy too.

  2. Awww bless.

    It is known fact that I have to take turns with our two old girl cars. But then he has to share me with my machines. I like going out in the cars and he likes what I create so we both win all around in the end. Must be love. *grin*

  4. Love those socks - i've been eyeing up that yarn with a view to making my husband some like that. Would probably choose the red, white and blue though.

  9. Gorgeous stripey socks, I knitted a pair in the red and white Manchester United Colours as a Chrissy present for daughters boyfriend. I love to gift hand knitted socks.
