An Overdue Update

I'm still the slow pokin' knitter I've always been! Here I am 3 months from the start date with an update on a pair of socks that seems to take other people on Ravelry a month to do...but this isn't a competition, right?!?

Spice socks are still coming along. I got kinda bored with the ribbing on the leg of the sock: k2p2 OVER AND OVER AND OVER. But then I got to do the heel! Yay! And now?? k2p2 OVER AND OVER AND OVER! Haha. Well, almost, I'm still finishing the gusset stitches. I'm a little ADD, and it is hard to do the "boring" parts. But this is why it's good I'm knitting 2 at time, I guess. No way I'd want to do a second sock after doing the first one, lol.

But these are for my dear mother, so they are happening. Didn't get them done for Mother's Day. Didn't get the done for her birthday (2 days ago). Christmas, maybe? They will get done!
