Gift One....Socks for Mom


This is my first pair of socks, I used knitpicks self-patterning yarn on two circular needles. Yes, I need to block them. I saw the color and knew it was for Mom, she saw them on my needles and loved them (in fact asked me to knit here a pair, ha ha already done). Mistakes on the first pair?....ah yes a few. There is one (yes one) gusset hole and I was cheap and did not use two balls so the twins are not identical. Alas they are a gift that I know she will love. What is next, well I will try a lovely pair of socks for Mom again. February brings me into the felted bag for my best friend, I plan to use embrodiary on that...we will see.

ooohh felted bag sounds deluxe and congratulations on your first pair of socks!! *throws confetti* Great work! Nevermind the littlegusset hole and such, it's a 'design feature' not a mistake... ;)
