These Socks Were Made For Walkin'
Handknit socks, courtesy Maggie, my mom. She's visiting this week and hasn't stopped knitting. She's obsessed, and I'm jealous. If I put half that energy into writing . . .
Last night, we introduced her to Project Runway, and she's hooked. Tonight, we watch Survivor (makes me think of Grease 2, when the Adrian Zmed character announces all dramatically, "Tonight . . . we bowl.").

I love hand knit stuff. I have a sweater, and 2 afghans knitted for me by various people.
Those socks look so very cozy and warm. I have always envied those who knit.
Those are so complex. I didn't know that level of detail could be done by hand.
Oooooo! How cute. I've always wanted to knit, but I never seemed to get the hang of it.

i know nothing about knitting other than i admire those who do it, but those socks look incredibly complex. wow.
I love those socks! And how special it must be to wear them!
I think it is so adorable that your mom is getting hooked on the shows!
TIVO and my mom are practically synonymous! She loves all that stuff!

Thanks, all, for the comments about my cozy, beautiful socks. I'm a lucky girl.
Also, the secret to their making? SELF STRIPING YARN (almost wrote "self stripping!"). Brilliant.
P.S. Baylor, anytime your mom wants to come over to my place--she's welcome--we LIVE for TIVO!
I love the socks. She should sell them from your blog.
I love your mom, she gave us a present. :)
You!
