because I am a beneficent mother, and because there are battles not worth fighting, that I will no longer make socks for my daughter. Instead, I will make for me and share freely.
Hey, her feet are only going to keep growing for a few more years and mine have stopped. Why make more socks for her to grow out of when I can make them all in my size and we can both wear them? Then, by the time she goes off to college, I will have enough, in the proper size, to send her off with.
What say you?
I think you have made a very wise decision! :-)

ReplyDeletealternately she could knit socks for you and share ...
I'm with Penny. I think you should both knit socks. You could take over a great amount of the clothes storage space.
ReplyDeleteI clicked on the previous picture to see what was on her wrist and am just amazed at what a young woman she is becoming. Lots of difference between this new smiling young person and the grinning one in the boat on your header. /sigh
I say thou art wise and beneficent. (Although I've noticed sometimes a teen likes to have socks of her own as well as to raid the supply of momsocks.)
ReplyDeleteI think you need to knit another pair for your brother, who wore his during his sick day yesterday!
ReplyDeleteI say you are a madly generous woman ... or, YOUR daughter is kinder to socks than mine. I thought I'd share, but she's rough on things. She wears socks outside without shoes!
ReplyDeleteI too am with Penny. She too should knit socks. Then you both share the results of your mutual sock knitting efforts.
That makes a lot of sense, it's a great idea.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wise Mama.
