Socks for Mother's Day

I made these socks for my mom for Mother's Day. The color is slightly off in the photos; they are actually a deep plum with lavender trim. They are really soft and cushy and she loves them. Yay!


And look, they fit her perfectly!

The next pictures are of some very cool socks that I did not make. My dad got them years ago in Masouleh, Iran. One of the local specialties there is fancy handmade socks.

The first pair is made of wool and the pattern is what I would usually call the Norwegian star, but I guess this one is the Persian star.

The second pair is much more intricate and it is actually made of silk.

Here's the front view:
