My mom is a frequent recipient of my handknit socks, mostly because she jumps to claim the socks I decide I don't like how they turned out. This means that I pretty much hate her entire sock collection and get annoyed by her feet whenever I go visit. ;)
So, for possibly the first time ever, I intentionally knitted a pair of socks for my mom. And they are lovely.
