My journey and life project to have 50 people in my life that are sock-worthy and to hand knit a pair of socks for each of these special people.

\nIn no particular order, they are:
\n
1. Mom – No one on Earth loves me like my mom. Sometimes, only your mom can heal a hurt. She’s a powerful woman.<\/a>
\"Watermelon
\n
2. Dad – He’s one of a kind. His sense of humor is without equal and he’s one of the best storytellers on the planet…..which is the reason I still love him despite the fact that he took months to try on the hand knit socks I mailed him. Something about him needing his feet to be clean. I’m not sure why his feet weren’t clean for months, but there you have it.<\/a>
\"\"
\n
3. The Husband – He puts up with me knitting ALL THE TIME. He’s a saint.<\/a>
\n\"Black \"Gentleman's
\n
4. Grammy – She’s a heck of a lady and I hope she knows how much she means to me. She is my favorite garden consultant.<\/a>
\"Usaks\"
\n
5. Grandma – Clark Gable once bought her a Coke. She’s the coolest.<\/a>
\n\"Yomut\"
\n
6. Turtle – We’ve known each other practically since birth. She continues to be incredibly supportive of my knitting and me in general. She’s a fantastic person to have in your corner.<\/a>
\"\" \"Vanessa
\n
7. Jbird – Her love of math and her willingness to visit yarn shops with me inspired entrelac socks….doesn’t hurt that she puts up with my little brother.<\/a>
\"Annetrelac
\n
8. Rebecca – She stalked the blog when no one else was reading it. I’m forever grateful.<\/a>\"striped
\n
9. me – we’ve already discussed that I’m awesome…plus my feet are the easiest for me to fit.
\n\"Chamfer
\n
10. Bonita – She loaned me Walking Dead DVD’s and taught me that it is ok if friends arrive for a party and the soup is still cooking. That’s why one needs true friends.<\/a> This is her.<\/a>
\"\"
\n
11. E – She’s a smart beautiful girl that will grow up to be a bright spot in the world.<\/a>
\n\"Whippersnappers\"
\n
12. Lolo – She’s like a grandmother. I think she and Hotshot took us to our first movie (ET) if I’m not mistaken and you know how I feel about films.<\/a>
\"Lycaena
\n
13. my hairstylist\/therapist – I’m in my mid-thirties and even though I’m going gray, I’ve never felt better about my hair. She’s a magician.
\n\"\"
\n14. Nephew – a picture is worth a thousand words.<\/a>
\"Nephew\"
\n15. L – This is her.<\/a> and these are her socks.<\/a>
\"Dragon's
\n16. SIL – We married brothers. Sometimes, we just let people assume we’re sisters because…well, we are.<\/a>
\n\"Pink<\/p>\n

17. S – I made a baby blanket for her in 2008. She was born in 2014. Her socks are Phalanges.<\/a>
\"Phalanges\"<\/p>\n

\n<\/br>18. J – My new niece is cute as pie. She was welcomed with Planum socks and a hat.<\/a>\"Penelope\"\"HatAndSocks\"
\n<\/br>19. Christie – Beyond the Wall socks for a friend who responded to the news that I’m working on a book with, “OMG! Let me be the first buyer!!”
\n<\/br>20. Marla – She’s been there for me during some of my darkest times. She remains one of two people I will darn for. It was high time I knit her socks.
\n<\/br>21. Deborah – She introduced me to tap dancing and seems a willing participant in my schemes. The Propitiate socks made me think of her and her feet are the perfect size. It was fate.
\n<\/br>22. Laura – We’ve probably walked 40 miles together.
\n<\/br>23. Elisa – @egonzales74 on IG if you’re looking for her.
\n<\/br>24. My current stylist
\n25. Baby Z
\n26. Meghan<\/p>\n

<\/br>On the needles:
\n<\/br>27. The Rocket Scientist – She’s right most of the time and excels at talking me off ledges when my anxiety gets a tad less mild.
