Socks

Here are a couple of pictures of the socks I made for my Mom for Mother's Day. Of course our schedules haven't meshed so she doesn't have them yet, but hopefully this weekend I can get them to her. I think and hope she will like them!



Next is a close up of the cuff and then the heel:








I used socketta sock yarn and the pattern is from the Crochet Me site, Toe up socks. I can't wait to be able to make some for me! I have some sock yarn with Chitin in it and it is oh so soft! I may try the other socks from Crochet me for those...just haven't decided, but I do like more of a cuff on my socks.
Here is a picture of an origami hot pad I made too. I really needed a diversion from the dress I am making and almost finished with and this was quick and easy!
