SOCK SAGA: THE END

LAST MONDAY  CLICK HERE TO READ ALL ABOUT 
THE
SAGA
or here is the Cliff Note version
1. Even though Mom can buy socks 24/7 in any color at any store she had a desire to make a pair.
2. She has bought a gazillion patterns before she found one she found one she could make.
3. The sock pictured on last Monday was another flop.
a. itty bitty sock yarn
b. itty bitty (size C) crochet hook, very hard to see.
c. She is convinced the instructions WERE wrong again.
4. SO she bought different yarn and found a tube 
pattern.
OK you are caught up....

After one SOLID week of working on the
insert HBO word, here is the finished product.

 OMC as if the color wasn't enough to blind me she shoved her smelly lovely foot in my face.
I was less than impressed.  She said Madi you better give it a 
good look and a good sniff.....'cause this is the last time you'll see it
Yep the old girl made one and she said there wasn't enough money 
in the lottery to get her to make another one.  She said there are some things in life that do not need to be repeated. This is one of them.  My BFF, Puddles told us the Mom of  Texas Doxie, MinnaK also made ONE last year.  We don't know what color it is but we'd like to make MinnaK's mom an offer she cannot refuse.   Mom will gladly send her sock to TX so that MinnaK's Mom has a complete pair....MOL
Respectfully submitted.

  8. can't stop laughing. this is hilarious. i must say, i do not agree with Jill, the sock is to say the least NOT lovely. LOL OMC too funny. I have an idea, use it to dust with, put it on mommy's hand and it is perfect for dusting. i have used hubby's old white socks, and this one is even better. OR roll it up for a cat hat.. still laughing.

  10. Wow, we think the sock looks fabulous!!! Crocheting is a lot harder than I imagined so I think it is an accomplishment to finish even just one :-)

  11. LOL ... your mom makes me laugh! Why is it that you all like to smell our feet? Kramer takes a sniff ... must be my smelly feet as well!

  12. Oh dears Madi.......my momma just went **GASP* at the beautifulness of da Single Sock!

    You think your mom is odd....., my momma struggled to finish ONE sock last year. Butt guess what her did then. Her decided to try again, because it sounded like sock knitting was something her 'should' like. So her struggled through another sock.........butt used a DIFFERENT yarn. (her thought it was a pretty color) And now her has a third sock almost done with a THIRD (and different) yarn!

    Yeppers....my poor momma has 2 and a half knitted socks........butt her still don't have a matching pair! I am convinced her is going into Single Sock production mode. Sigh.

  13. That is a Beautiful sock!!!! I'd love to have a pair just like it!!!

  14. She should just save the sock until the dryer monster eats one of her other socks, then she'll have a set!

  15. Hey, the last sock came out great! I've never heard of a crochet pattern
    for socks before!
    That is too funny! Sending this sock to Texas to get a pair! LOL
    Madi, I bet you would have been impressed if it smelled like cat nip!
    You'd be jumping all over the place with excitement! :)
    It must take a lot to impress a Diva!
    Chin scratches to you, if I'm allowed
    Hugs to Mom for starting off the week with a chuckle!

  17. We were gonna suggest your Mom auction off the whole lot...we bet some crazypants peep (i.e. our Mommy) would pay good money for 'em! Nothing she wears matches, as you know.

  18. Oh too funny. We think that sock is gorgeous.Well done Madi's mom. At least you got it done. That alone deserves some applause. But I do think the joining of the two single socks is such a good idea. BUT we need a picture of the two together. Thanks for the pants wetting laugh. Take care.

  23. Madi, it was a nice effort and all, but I am glad its over for you. Maybe if you plant it in the garden, then more will grow and she won't have to make any more.

  33. Hey Madi, Jet here.

    My mom knits, and just like her terror of trying waitressing, she will NOT try socks, no matter what they say about new needles, new techniques, better patterns... hooray for your Mom attempting the scary sock!
