Mom's Sock!

This weekend my mom came into town for a fun girls weekend visit! She brought along her knitting too! She and a friend took a sock knitting class and after many weeks, some ripping out and swearing (like all good projects require) she's got an FO (that's finished object to you non-knitters)!

It fits and looks fabulous! Now she's half way finished - just one more sock to go!
She's also been whipping up these cute and soft washcloths for people!

She inspired me to pull out my first pair of socks - and I use the term "pair of socks" loosely as I've only made it this far with the first sock:

I measured my sock and I'm only 6 inches into the leg and decided I wanted to go another inch before working on the heel flap. Then I put it back in the knitting bag for another day.

Tonight I took mom to Purly Girls and she had a great time! She loved chatting with all the fun, creative and talented knitters! Now she wants to start her own Purly Girls in Boise!
