My first slip stitched heel
I was sitting at the table a couple days after Thanksgiving picking up stitches because the heel of the striped socks was off center, why don't patterns say place a marker x number of stitches from each side?!?
I have trouble counting oldest son asked what I was doing so I showed him the socks I was knitting for his Dad and he said "I would wear those" my four favorite words!! I told him they were wool and could be washed in the machine but need to dry flat, he said he already does that with his smartwool socks. He is a smart boy! so 5 minutes after he left I was on the internet ordering more yarn for socks just for him. Happy knitting--Ann-- check out all the wonderful knitting projects at
Judy's. P.S. its snowing here!!!!
You are such a good mom, and a big softie too. He's lucky to have a smart mom that can knit on command.! :)
ReplyDeleteLove that blue and grey yarn!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love the feel of knitted socks on your feet?
ReplyDeleteOnce you've work knitted socks they make ordinary socks feel flimsy and not very desirable.
I hope your boys feel very special.
