My Mother’s Day of memories… drinking the coconut cocoa tea she introduced me to and starting pirate socks the way she taught me, using leftover Opal yarn inherited from my mother’s stash. Colors vary among black, white, red, and some blues and greens.

I spent this #MothersDay with kind #Memories, drinking the #CoconutCocoaTea she introduced me to and starting #PirateSocks the way she taught me, using leftover Opal yarn I inherited from her stash. I can see her eyes in the mirror and her hands, knitting, when I look down at my own. #RealMenKnit
