Flattery Will Get You a Pair of Socks :-)

Sometime last year, my future brother-in-law-to-be saw me knitting a pair of socks and he was amazed. He said they looked like you could buy them in a store -- I think he was amazed that handknit did not necessarily look homemade.

A few months ago, he saw me knitting another pair of socks and his comment to me was that he liked the color I was using and that it would make a good pair of men's socks. I'm very good at taking a hint so I knit him a pair of socks for his birthday. Of course they arrived a few months late -- flattery will get you a pair of socks but not necessarily on the gift day they are planned for :-)


We were so happy to welcome him and his son into our family.
