She finished her first knitted sock! With her very own paws hands!!
 |
| Wouldn't it be easier to buy the 3-for$10 pack at WalMart? |
Now, she has knitted shawls and scarfs and is a total whiz at dishclothes (strange but true)........but never had the nerve to attempt socks.
So, after many, many hours....and panicked trips to the Yarn Shop for classes and moral support.........and enough HBO words to fill a Encyclopedia........she now has ONE sock.

Looks like a few sloppy stitches here in the heel......but not bad for your first one.
I'm thinking this could be a new business development opportunity for Lucy! Now taking orders for hand-knitted socks!! Please allow 87 weeks for production time from date of order. |

Thank goodness you mom duss not has 4 paws. Or you could make a sawk monkee out of that one and you only need one! Always thinking ofur here... (But the sawk do look furry bootiful.)
Congrats on the sock.. I know the feeling about creating projects it would be easier and cheaper to buy em. But making them is much more fun.
wow, great job. Does it smell as good as it looks?
Benny & Lily
Gosh! That sock is Most Wonderful! There is no way, no how that my mom could knit a sock. Or, well, anything else for that matter. I'm real proud of her! But I hope she gets that other sock made real soon.
Oh, and I just wanted to thank you all for coming to my Commentathon yesterday! It was super fun and it just wouldn't have been the same without you all there!
Wiggles & Wags,

Well done! Beth knits lots of socks. She says it's her favorite thing to knit. But she doesn't take orders....she just does it for the fam.... She said 87 weeks sounds like a good time frame....then she laughed....I don't know why....
Wow,
Your mom is full of talent! Dere is no way mine could do dat!
Woofs and Licks,
Maggie Mae
Is Pickles quality control? If we order, do we only get one sock?
She'd better get busy on the other sock or that one will be worn out.
XXXOOO Daisy, Kendra & Bella
Ok, we will put in our Christmas orders now, he he! Good job though to your momma. That sock sure was stressful. No please don't give her a heart attack and steal it to chew on.
Kitty and Coco
Congrats to your mom for the near impawsible feet (oops, I mean FEAT) of knitting one sock! If she doesn't feel like knitting it's twin she could just give it to you as a play toy....what do you think?
87 weeks for a sock?! I could grow a whole new paw in dat time!! BOL!!
heehee - HoneyBuzz
Oh that sock looks good!! How long will it take for the other sock?? BOL
Tell Mom, Good job!!
wags
Jazzi
Nice looking sock ya got there!
Well, at least she's not naming the socks! That could take quite a bit longer. Pickles, I'd hope that the second sock takes her a while, because you know next she'll be knitting dog sweaters!
Bunny
We will take one dozen...but can Pickles do stripes?
Wyatt and Stanzie
BOL! Now that is 'a' very nice sock but I'm with Pickles it must be a tad lonely ;) You are way too funny. K, I will order a hand knitted toe sock for Mom's left big toe today so I can give it to her umm for next Christmas? ;)
Waggin at ya,
Roo
That is a most fantastical sock!!! Way better than Walmart socks for sure! Love the color! Maybe I should order a pair for my mom. She currently has her tootsies under my tummy to keep them warm. It must be because the drawer full of store bought socks aren't as good!!
Wags,
Zona
Cute! I bet it's warm!!
Simba

That sock is great, we want some !
Wow!! What sock talent...do you do colors?
And, we are nominating you for style- check it out tomorrow.
Pickles my mom said to tell your Mom she takes off her hat to her...Mom has tried unsuccessfully to crochet socks. That is one gorgeous sock your mom made!!! Well done!!!
Hugs Madi
Pickles, at first we thought YOU knitted the sock! That would be very talented for a pup. Your Mom did a good job on the sock. One sock is better than nothing! :)
Nice sock but your right where's the other one.
Guess what? Me amd Mommy got a foster, a little blind boy named Weenie and he looks like my brother Jacks. Come over and see hi., he is so darn cute He is gonna to an eye specialist tomorrow to se if there is somethingf they can do to restore some of his sight.

That one sock is most impressive indeed. Our mom also loves socks and has a strange attachment to them. What is up with mom's and socks? This humans are so silly sometimes.
flash, alven and dottie
Pickles please tell your Mom she has been an inspiration to my mom. Mom find an easy crocheted sock pattern. Before the creeping crud struck the mom she started on it. Thus far it is going well. We'll keep you posted.
Madi and Mom
I has toilet paper to wipe yur eyeballs.
Puddles
Wow! We are impressed with the SOCK! Your Mom should be proud - that is quite an accomplishment. OUR Mom would NEVER have the patience for knitting! She's more of 3 for $10 kind of sock person :)
The Road Dogs
Well done! My Nelli also likes handknitted socks, she has even tried to eat one.
