Jess like many of the other moms knit constantly while their children played. But what I remember about Jess is her knit socks (follow her knitting adventures <a href=\"http:\/\/mikknit.mikk.net\/\" target=\"\">here<\/a>). I never considered doing that before but it sounded fun so I bought yarn and knit a pair for myself. Then I lost a sock and nearly cried. Seriously. <\/p>\n<p>Luckily I found it again and once again thought I would like to try knitting socks. Noticing a dearth of quality socks in children&#8217;s sizes I decided to use my extra sock yarn and make a pair for Avril. It started with her picking the color. she was so excited. <\/p>\n<p>Then came the knitting. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px solid; BORDER-LEFT: 0px solid; BORDER-TOP: 0px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px solid\" src=\"http:\/\/images.quickblogcast.com\/7\/2\/6\/0\/8\/191317-180627\/GEDC3143.jpg?a=15\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px solid; BORDER-LEFT: 0px solid; BORDER-TOP: 0px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px solid\" src=\"http:\/\/images.quickblogcast.com\/7\/2\/6\/0\/8\/191317-180627\/GEDC3144.jpg?a=64\"><\/p>\n<p>She kept wanting to try them on.

Hopefully she won&#8217;t loose one. Next on the list of socks is Effie, then Mavis and finally Two, going in order of most need. If I work a little bit consistently every day I can finish a pair in 1-2 weeks. Enthusiasm helps. I got the pattern from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/account\/login\" target=\"\">Ravelry<\/a> a free site.
