It seemed the perfect time. The table and dining room were all cleaned up after the Easter dinner. I have Jason and his kids for a few days. They leave today after lunch. And Eowyn wanted to know what the heck was going on in my dining room. I explained about blocking, and told Eowyn if she ever saw anything that I had made that she really liked and might wear, I would give it to her! Just let me know!
Then Jackson asked had I ever made anything for him. And, of course, that led to what he might want....and after a minute's thought he said: Socks! So I sent him upstairs to grandmother's sewing machine on which I have a basketful of socks and told them both to pick any socks out that they wanted. One of those serendipity moments! They both chose some socks!
Jackson chose a plain gray pair:
And the pair of blue socks below. These socks were not made with self-striping yarn....I did all of the color work myself.
And Eowyn chose two pairs of white:
Yes, these are different from each other...she has the mates in her hands. The cabled socks are wool and the other pair are cotton.
I am very thrilled to have someone wearing my socks!
