Happy Mother's Day!

Isn't she just the cutest Mommy you've ever seen? She's been through a lot in the last few months and she deserved to have wonderfully comfy silk socks. She got her socks in time on Mother's Day (although I finished them in the car and I did have to sew in the ends after she opened the package)
The socks look a touch too big. I made them to fit my feet, but hers are a little smaller and I always forget. I also left off the lazy daisies... I kind of like them this way.

Details:
Pattern: Patternworks Sockilicious Sock of the Month Club
Yarn: Regia Silk
Modifications: I just left off the daisies. Otherwise knitted as written.

Sockilicious!

Patternworks caught me at a weak moment, I joined their Sockilicious Sock of the Month Club. It's a monthly mailing of yarn, pattern and whatever extra they want to send. It's kind of a pricey little number, but I like that you pay monthly and can cancel at any time. Plus, I have a self imposed deadline to get the sock done before the next one comes.

This month's sock is May Flowers. 2 Skeins of Regia Silk and a cute pattern. After knitting the sock, I'll embroider lazy daisy's on the white portion. I am amazed at how fast this sock is going. I've never done just a plain jane sock before, so it just zips along compared to the lace socks I'm used to.

I was originally thinking that this would be a pair of socks for myself, but now I'm thinking they would make a great Mother's Day gift.
