Fun for the Whole Family

Other things may change us, but we start and end with family.
-Anthony Brandt

My parents are in town this weekend, and - in spite of all the time spent playing tourist and eating in favorite restaurants - it does bring up some good knitting content. You may recall that they are some of the most grateful recipients of knitted gifts. My mom is the only adult other than myself for whom I've ever made a sweater, and she expresses her gratitude often. Now she gets a second one. Remember my closet-cleaning frenzy? The sleeves need to be rolled up a bit, but it fits my mom well. And look how happy she is!

That's the upside. The downside? It's slight, but my dad is walking around torturing the beau about how much he loves his handknit socks, and didn't he wish he had some of his own. It's cruel, really.

Have a great weekend, folks.
