Happy Feet

For me winters mean cups of piping hot chocolate, pakodas with imli ki chutney and snuggling in the bed till 10 or till my kid sister wakes me up with her screeches. But unfortunately, they also mean cracked, dry feet.
This time around I thought enough is enough and I asked Mom for a solution.
 
According to her, Vaseline and woolen socks was what I needed and before I could say a word, she started knitting them.
Now, knitting two pairs of socks in two days (I was leaving for my hostel) was no mean task, but Supermom (that is Mom frantically trying to achieve something for her little ones) had decided her mantra: ‘Daughter needs socks, must finish in two days!’
 

The day arrived, I was supposed to leave to leave in a couple of hours and mom hadn’t finished knitting a pair. Her hands moved swiftly and by 4 in the afternoon, she finished the first one. After celebrating her achievement by drinking a cup of tea with a few biscuits, she got back to finish her race against time.

It was 8 and Mom was yet to finish 15 lines.

Me: “Mom, I know how to knit. I will finish it”

Mom: “I have an idea. I will knit it at the bus stop”

Till the last minute she knitted and then the bus came and whisked me away. Supermom had lost.

She was convinced I was going to drop the stitches or simply end up opening whatever she had done…

Well Mom, I really do know how to knit. Need proof? Have a look at the photos

Am about to finish
Aha! Just need to stitch
Stitched, washed and now they are ready to keep my feet Happy!
Mission Accomplished! Now I can do a little victory dance in my Happy Feet! 🙂

About Munni of all Trades

We remember the day seven years back when were travelling in a Mumbai local trying hard to come up with a name for our blog when struck us; Khushboo was always called a Jack of all Trades. The name stuck (with a slight modification, of course) and Munni was born. Six years, over 100 collaborations, lakhs of readers and several awards later; our love for blogging continues to grow. We continue to write on an eclectic range of topics from the funniest autorickshaw signs that we have spotted in Mumbai to how to bathe an elephant. We are true blue Munni of all Trades and we hope to continue on this joyride with our fellow Munnis and Munnas. Read More
