My sister-in-law just turned 40.
She looks 33. Despite that fact I gifted her hand knit socks.
I was suprised at how difficult that was initially.
It took strength not to make her pinky swear that she would take good care of her socks, that she would love them, and most important that she would wear them.
I watched Knitty Gritty today, something I very seldom do. Stephanie Pearl-Mcphee was making a basic sock using her recipe from Knitting Rules. At the end of the episode when they go sit down with the ‘knitsters’ she was asked if she had tons of hand knit socks, she replied that she gifts them, especially to knitters. Then she gets socks back as gifts. Hmmm. . .
I think for my sister-in-law’s 41st birthday I will teach her to knit socks.
Where’s the pic of my cute little toes in my hot little gifted socks, which I will care for, covet, and wear?!? Thank you for the amazing present! Very special….
Your cute little toes have arrived!
