Well, I gave my daughter her Easter basket yesterday & she loved the socks & washcloths (as well as the candy 
) that was in it, as did my sister 
My sisterās bday is the 30th of the month & she made it very clear that she wanted some socks, and a BUNCH of washcloths! So, I came home from church & cast on Sheriās Laces socks from sockbug.com. I also saw the pattern for Spearfish Socks that I might get for my sister, but for Christmas if I should order them! I think that she will love both pair thus far, Sheriās Lace and the Cascading Leaves, each are quite feminine. So, Iām off to the doctor and back home to get busy knitting for another bday
Rebekka,
You have a beautiful daughter.Love that red hair. I bet she will enjoy her socksā¦ :rollseyes: Amy
Your daughter is gorgeous! What beautiful red hair!
Why, thank u, Amy & Amberā¦I must agree, she is beautiful (perhaps Iām a bit prefudiced ) LOL, someone years back had red hair, she didnāt get it from her dad or meā¦we figure God just wanted her to have red hair She loved her socks, tooā¦which just makes me want to knit more & more for gifts
Such sweet pictures and such a sweet daughter to appreciate a beautiful handmade gift so much.
And that Spearfish sock pattern is a work of art. Iām looking forward to seeing what you do with that.
Thanks so much, she really does appreciate each knitted item she gets, which makes one want to knit more
Your dd is positively breathtaking. My dd is coming home for a visit from Germany this summer, and I can hardly wait to actually get to take pictures of her in the things I knit for her.
Thanks so much, Rennaā¦gosh, I know u must MISS her desperately, being so far from home :shock:
I do. 
Thank God for low cost international phone rates! It hasnāt been all that many years ago that rates for those calls would make calling cost prohibitive.
My word, Iām at a loss with my stepkids being in KS, we are blessed that we still have 1 child in the same townā¦I donāt know if I could handle all of them being away 
. I just canāt imagine having a child so far awayā¦even if he/she is grown upā¦he/she is still your baby
Yep, sheās my 22yo baby. When she left the nest, she really left the nest! Sheās excited about her upcoming visit home, though. She plans on staying three weeks. Sheās earned two weeks paid vacation on her job, and is taking one week without pay. Her roomies will tend to her ābabiesā (her snakes). Iām sure glad she canāt bring them with her! :shock: :mrgreen:
I know u r going to be so happy to see her, Rennaā¦I also understand that u r happy she left her snakes :shock: :roflhard: :rofling:
Iāve finally finished sock one of the Sheriās Lace pattern for my sisterās birthday. I think that they will be a lovely pairā¦when Iām done :rollseyes: . I believe that the dark color and the lace pattern have slowed me down a bitā¦that & the fact that Iāve not been knitting as muchā¦LOL!
Iām using size 1 addiās and KnitPicksā Essential in navy
Beautiful! 
Thanks
very nice! 
Beautiful things and gorgeous daughter!
Interesting note about the genetics of red hair (and forgive me if you know this already): red hair is caused by two genes, rather than one, like for other hair colors. The first gene (the one that usually causes hair color) must be blonde or light brown). The second, red head-unique gene must have a mutation, and that mutation must be inherited from both parents. If the first hair gene was dark brown or black, you would not be able to āseeā the red hair caused by the second gene.
So you and your DH are both carriers of the gene ā the fact that no one in your family has red hair means that either they didnāt inherit the light hair gene or they didnāt inherit the mutated red hair gene from both parents.
BTW, redheads are statistically more likely to be left handed, to be more susceptible to bleeding problems, and to need more anesthesia and pain medication than other people. They are also more prone to allergies an eczema. Ah, the price you pay to have beautiful hair! (I have a red headed daughter too.)
Thanks, all. Irishbabyā¦I didnāt know about the fact that redheads were more likely to be left-handed, which Shannon is :D, actually, 2 or 3 of my children are left-handed, which u donāt see all of the time
Rebecca, I have to say I love your invisible foot model! It makes me giggle every time!
LOL, Iām certainly not showing off my white legs :roflhard: :rofling:
awesome pics and good info on red headsā¦my fil is a redhead and my sil is a reddish blond headā¦I keep wondering if there is any possibility that dh and I could have a red-headed babyā¦I have reddish brown hair and momās hair was fairly dark red as a child but am not sure if there is a real redhead in my familyā¦
Your daughter is beautifulā¦I know several redheads but never a left handed one. BTWāthose socks your dd hadā¦were they KP simple stripes in snapdragon? (gosh Iām becoming such a yarn nerdā¦)
