Peppermint sticks

Here's my mom, sitting in her nice electric reclining chair, post-Christmas dinner, working a crossword puzzle. I think her Christmas socks (Karida's Neighborhood Fiber Company sock wool in, I think, the Logan Circle colorway) complement her cashmere track suit and designer glasses nicely, don't you?

I'm sold on this yarn. These socks turned out really, really nice and looked great on her feet (worn with wool Birkenstock clogs).

I know I posted this picture before, but I thought I'd include it again. The socks, done in a modified spiral pattern, remind me of peppermint sticks. The scarf, in the same colorway, I've wrapped and left for her to open on new year's.
