A couple of weeks ago, I was such a proud mom! Yes, Julie was here & I'm proud of her & that new baby that's coming - but something else very important happened! Lindsay finished her first knitted sock!!!! Now, for those of you who don't knit - this is a HUGE step (pun intended?) - there is not a feeling like making your first sock. You fit it to your foot, put it on & realize you actually made something that awesome - its a cool thing! Now, once you get the swing of it, you can do a pair of socks within a day or two (for me - a couple of weeks) - but Lindsay, it took her over 1 year for the first sock. Now, remember, she does have 2 feet so we'll see when she completes the set - but for now, I'm beaming for her that she's got that first one done!
(Notice in the back ground Julie's cute little pregnant belly! She's proud of her sister too! Without Julie, none of us would be knitting - she's the one to blame!)
Yay Lindsay! I'm so proud.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Lindsay! I admit I didn't get "hooked" on sock knitting until my second pair - this is probably because my first pair was in ugly yarn :(
ReplyDeleteHooray for you!
