My parents are in for the weekend visiting from PA. They just got here yesterday. So of course as soon as I got home I went through the progress of showing my mom all my knitting projects. The unfinished CheesyLove, the one Cut Your Teeth sock, my finished Honeymoon Cami, and the Xback tank. I almost cried when my mom told me how nice all my knitting was, and how much I have improved. She said "You must have inherited this talent from my mother". Shit, I'm getting a little teary thinking about it now. Even my dad was impressed. I felt 10 feet tall! I never really met my grandmother, she died when I was 1 or 2 years old. It's a wonderful connection to her, the knitting.
I'm still plugging along on the Xback. I'm almost to the end of my first ball of ribbon, and I've got about 6 inches I think. I'm hoping to finish it before my class ends so I can show it off to the girls in my class, who've been watching me knit it before class starts.

Somewhere deep down in our inner psyche, we all want our parents to be proud of us. I know I do. I have had the same experience when showing my mother my knitting.
I should be getting my Deco Ribbon today. Can't wait to get started!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend with your parents.
Amy
