handknit socks for Ella and me

Ella asked me to knit her a pair of socks. “Blue, please,” she said, very sweetly. She preferred a turquoise hue.

We already had the yarn: Patons Stretch Socks in colorway “Kelp.” The socks were finished in time for her birthday.

Since then, I finished another pair for myself in colorway “Plum.”

Here we are, modelling our hand-knit socks. Our feet are almost the same size, but hers are only nine years old.

I will soon have the smallest feet in the family. Yay! They won’t be able to borrow my sneakers anymore!
