I never thought I’d get any of these projects I’ve been working on done… they seriously just felt like they were never going to get done. However, even though I was pushing it right up to the last possible minute before last nights mystery sock class, I did manage to get mom’s socks done. (The socks I’m giving her for Christmas. So suck it Christmas monster!)
I think they came out pretty great! Although the tension in the second sock is way wonky, it almost looks like there’s no pink. Which is funny because the whole time I was freaking out about not having enough purple. Ha ha ha. I had a whole baby fist of purple left.
My favorite part is definitely the striped heels and mismatched heel flaps. Because I came up with those all on my own! I think it makes the socks look a lot louder than they probably should be, which might not have been a great idea for socks for my mom… but she’s pretty crazy, so her socks should reflect that- don’t you think?
Hey everybody it’s the yin-yang twins! Oooooooooooh, pretty cheesy, right?
But the only real problem, besides all the tension wonkyness is that mom’s socks, mysteriously, fit me perfectly:
Watch out mom, I’m coming for them.
Holy crap those are great! And they look comfy…however will you manage to get them off to give away???
