My Favorite Mother-in-Law

I'm lucky enough to have a wonderful relationship with my Mother-in-Law.  Technically, she hasn't been my MIL for about six years or so, but that's just a matter of paperwork.  She is my MIL because she is still part of my family.  My son adores her, and she adores him.  They have a beautiful relationship.  

As Christmas was coming around, I realized that of all the things I've made for her over the years, I somehow never made her socks.

Just a couple of months later, it was birthday time.  That's right, she had never gotten birthday socks.  

It may not make up for the last decade or so, but two pairs of socks in two months is a pretty good start.

Even More Socks

Last summer I knit some socks for Michael.  He decided that these were his good luck socks, and would not board an airplane without them.  A rule such as that demands more than one option, and so the travel sock plan was hatched.

Michael got birthday socks, as is custom.  He had traveled across the world twice, and so needed two pairs of good luck airplane socks.

 

Then it was Christmas.  Three trips here, three good luck airplane socks.

He'll be getting on another airplane in approximately 4 weeks.  I don't have socks ready for that.  Yet.
