Things I learnt:
1. It is a popular misconception that socks naturally occur in pairs. They don't. At all. The pairing process is a long and painful one.
2. Do not knit socks in front of your mum if she has the same shoe size as you. She will take this moment to recall all of the times she didn't get to wear the shoes she purchased based on your logic that since you had the same shoe size you could share them. Then she will steal the socks as some form of compensation and before you know it you're sockless again.
3. When you cast on your own compensation socks (or socks number 2) you will realise that magic loop is much easier for sock knitting than double points.
p.s. these are mum's shaved, tanned legs. Just in case any of you thought I had gone mad with sock grief.

woohooo! They look great! It is so hard to say no to the woman who gave birth to you, and likes to remind you of how long/hard/painful it was! Especially if they are menopausal!!! :)
