During Christmas, my boyfriend’s mom taught me the sock pattern she’s been using to make socks for the past who-knows-how-many years. I, of course, immediately botched the pattern by casting on too many stitches–which created socks that look like they were made for club-feet. But, regardless of their bunchiness, I gave them to my mom, who still appreciates anything I make. Who knows if she’ll wear them, but she still oooo’ed and ahhhhh’ed over them, just like she did when I was in kindergarten and brought home a crayon tracing of my hand. Hang in there, mom. The socks will get better, just as the hand tracings got better. See?

It hasn’t stopped raining in 3 days and, as a result, the crafter in me is coming out again. Here’s a bag I made using the Wasp Bag Pattern that was on Craftzine a few months ago. Also had enough remaining fabric to make a pillow!
