Listen to Your Mom

Or in my case, listen to a mom whose opinion you trust in matters such as this. That would SO not be my mom. She would be inclined to say something such as: "Why are you even bothering with that?", or "Don't you have anything better to do with your time?, or, the always available, "When Kathryn is in high school, are you going to get a real job?" Thanks Mom. But I think I'll take my knitting advice from other moms.


Like Neatnik's mom. She seems like the same kind of mom I am (or want to be at least!); she's smart - she teaches college. She's even smarter - she used to be a pharmacist. She also seems to be going through similar issues with a sweater. So when her comment on the big sock problem of the other day said, very simply this:

Change yarn? Pattern?
Have a stiff shot?

Seriously? You didn't think I would change the yarn did you??? That's the whole reason I'm in this dilemma! Plus - that's a fresh bottle of vodka.

To all my mom friends (even of kitties!!) I hope your Mother's Day is as special as you all are!

And really, the vodka matches the sock so well!

My advice would be to not get a real job cuz real jobs suck.

I'm with Jeanne! The vodka bottle blue is very pretty.

I knew you'd find a sensible solution.

The fabric looks so much better with the pattern change!

Happy Mommy Day.

Ooo - I knit that pattern when I was a much younger sock knitter and I followed the pattern to the letter - using some Lisa Souza Sock! I found the fabric very loose.

Jeanne is totally on point - and since when is being a mother not a real job *ahem*
I'm hoping that once my kids are out of school I can go back to being a stay at home mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Mothers Day - that Vodka and some OJ ought to cure all the knittings ills!

Are you making the sock for the vodka? Because they do go well together.

And real jobs do suck. Don't listen to your mother.

Happy Mother's Day!

I agree with Jeanne. Real jobs aren't all they're cracked up to be. :)

If you ever change your mind, that yarn would make a great vodka sock.
