My daughter Hannah is very fortunate to have a wonderful college roommate. She and Karly met last year and they are like peas and carrots, they just go together. Karly makes Hannah a better student and a neater roommate, and, well, I’m not sure exactly what Hannah does for Karly other than make her happy. That’s pretty good, though, and I’m relatively certain that these two have forged a life long friendship. So what’s a mom to do to show a young lady how happy she is that she’s in her daughter’s life?
Make her socks, of course.
The socks should be knit from the mom’s own special pattern.
And they should include the roommate’s favorite color, purple.
They should be soft and warm delivered just in time for Christmas.
Mission Accomplished.
aww…perfect!
Love the picot edging at the cuff! A very lovely gift!
A lovely gift, and they’ll be treasured for years I bet!
That is so thoughtful! Looks like she loves them.
Friends for life, a perfect roommate!
What good looking socks! And she looks like she’s delighted with them! Great job!
Lucky girl – a nice way to start Christmas break!
awww, love that happy giftee smile. A good college room mate is the most amazing friend to have , I spent a week with mine in October and there is nothing like someone who knew you then /when.
the socks are so pretty–they look like a perfect color for Karly. And, how lucky Hannah is to have a great roomie.
nice present! I spent 10 minutes just gawking at the cinder block walls… wow, days gone by!
very sweet! and i love that colorway. and lucky hannah to have a great roommate – certainly makes the college experience a more enjoyable one 😉
Very nice. Hannah is lucky to have a great roommate and her roommate is lucky Hannah has a great mom. Everyone wins.
Sweet!! Karly looks very happy. It’s so great that they get along so well!
So cute and thoughtful! I love the purple/yellow combo. Lucky Karly (and lucky Hannah)!
Fabulous! And Karly looks very happy … a good roommate who also appreciates handknits is a treasure, indeed!
Beautiful sock—love the colors and your cute picot edge! Thoughtful gift! Glad Hannah has such a good roommate, and so does Karly!
Perfect and very pretty!
Aw, you’re the best! Karly looks like she LOVES them!
Just reading freshman student journals(reflections on their first semester in college) and re-discovering how hit-or-miss the roommate situation can be. For every student who tells me how much he/she gets along with the roommate(s), there is one who can’t wait to change roommates! Lucky for Hannah that this worked out so well; and lucky for Karly to have a roommate who has a knitter for a mother!
Awwwwwwwwwwww…
So cute! Nice socks, too. ;^)
Such a beautiful gift. Socks is the one knitted item I never worked on. I am always tempted but I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it right
awwwww i am giving my first picot edge socks to my daughter for Christmas
Much nicer than receiving a Weasley handknit, eh? They look perfect, just like her smile!
Karly’s delight show on her face! You are a super-mom to give such a thoughtful and caring gift to Hannah’s roommate. Yay for you all!
Love it! The socks; the roommate; the gift! Perfection!
I just love your picot edging! The colors are so cheery and spring-like. Can you believe I saw forsythia wreaths at Joanne’s yesterday!
Those are perfectly lovely socks! I hope Karly joins the hand knit sock lovers group! These make a generous present and a nice sentiment Carole.
And THAT is a wonderful Christmas story.
