So...I thought I'd teach my mom to knit

Mom's pretty handy with handicrafts. She does needlepoint and cross stitch and she's hooked a rug and chrocheted, etc. So when I got into knitting a while ago, Mom thought it looked like fun. I got her some yarn and needles, and she started on a sweater (she decided to skip the scarf stage).

When the sweater turned out to be a pain, she started on a pair of socks...then a tank top in ribbon yarn. Then...well...


Mom has decided it's just not her thing. However, she bought that yarn, and since I, er, encouraged her so much, she's now returned everything tain -- uh, touched by her knitting experiment to me in the mail.

I'm doing the ribbon tank top first.
