What an Amazing Mother

Well yesterday I went out to spend my hard earned cash. LOL But this time I took my mother with me. She is so funny. Since I started knitting she has felt or acted as if it was a waste of time. See I got her into quilting several years back and she is obsessed with quilting. So when I started to knit she just did not want to have anything to do with it. Well several weeks ago at my SnB she picked up a crochet hook. Now mind you she crocheted when we were kids but that was some years back and I just found out recently that some 50 or 60 years ago she knitted a few argile socks for a boy but never finished them because she lost interest in the boy... LOL ... She started to make a washcloth and bam... she did it with really know help other then us explaining the stitches once. This proves my mother has a memory of an elephant. So a few day after my SnB she found a picture of a pillow she wanted. Hence her interest in knitting now. So yesterday she went with me out to the LYS and picked out some yarn and some needles. Bam she bought 3 hanks of Prism and started to stitch... thanks to Karen she got my mother all started and everything. We left and I figured ok... maybe or maybe not... she might or might not want to finish it... I just got off the phone with here and she told me that she knows exactly how much yarn it will take for her to finish the front of the pillow she is making and that she does not need to go and knit with until she needs to bind off and she thinks that she can figure that one out on her own. I will bet you she will do it. Now I know where I get my crafty bone in my body. LOL Thanks MOM!
