Socks

I love homemade socks. I remember the first pair I knitted. They were different lengths and a little baggy. I learned to knit 2 at a time so at least if there was a mistake, it was on both of them.

I just finished these socks. It only took me a couple of months. That's okay. They are still mine and fit me like a glove. My wonderful local yarn shop had a sale for one of the owners. It was 59% of 1 skein of yarn. I fell in love with this sock yarn. It made me remember my mom. My mom passed away in November, 2009. I only made her 1 pair of socks and they cracked me up. She picked Orange. Who knows what she was thinking. I teased her about having a pair of Halloween socks. I used the Cat Bhordi book so these socks fit only her feet. They were her Mother's Day gift that year. I hope I can finish this yarn into a pair of socks for me by Mother's Day. I figure it would be a fitting tribute to my mom.
