Fine Socks by my Mom

When I went to Germany in the fall, I measured my relatives' feet for custom socks. Somehow we'd decided to knit them all socks by Christmas. (There is considerable disagreement on exactly whose idea this was.) Mom's making more progress on hers than I am, and you'll notice that it's not Christmas anymore.

Socks for my uncle,

and socks for my cousin.

Mom's gracefully making a third pair and I plan to do two (the first being the socks I'm test-knitting for her Sock of the Month Club), and of course I'll post those (uh, eventually), too.
