Surprises Delivered

I've been waiting until the USPS delivered a very special package to my sister and mom.  I love to share my knitting with my sister and mom.  Without mom, I may not have been a knitter.

For mom these socks from Online Linnie3.  She called last night to say they fit well.  I hope they keep her legs and feet warm.

Letting my sister think this vest was for me, we discussed it during my last visit.  The yarn had been ordered but had not arrived at home before we started our trip.  I had to wait to return home to begin.
