Socky Goodness!

MMMmmmm its time for some socky goodness!

Finally finished D's socks on the 16th.  Yay!  They look good, I like the pattern a lot, after being so unsure starting out.  And now I shall post pictures!  D already knows what the look like, he insisted on wearing them yesterday!  So... I guess it is a Christmas present in November.  Either that, or i'm going to snag them back and wrap them up LOL.  

Both socks done!

So onwards to another pair of socks!  This time for my mother!  I have this cute hand painted sock yarn that I bought online called "Evil Stepmother".  Its a variegated colorway that goes from a dark purple all the way to a light red-purple shade.  Don't know why, but that color just shouted "MOM" to me... Maybe its because I remember her wearing a lot of purple while I was growing up.  Either way, she's getting a pair of socks out of the whole deal.  If i can finish 1 pair of socks every 2 weeks, I might have Christmas gifts for 4 people!  Yay!  We're so broke right now, that no one is getting bought gifts.  Including the kids, which really stinks for them.  This year I did a horrible job of clearance sale shopping for Christmas.  Oh well.  They should be thankful for a roof over their head and food in their belly.  Which is helping me bust my stash of yarn thankfully.

Alright, of to a parent teacher conference for the kindergartener!
