Finally Some Finished Knitting

"Knit on, with confidence and hope, through all crises." - Elizabeth Zimmerman
Due to a sucky week I have been trying to knit some worries away. Didn't work, but I did finish a pair of socks! I had the yarn in my stash and started knitting these socks when RL was in Florida a couple of weeks ago. It's the same pattern I used for Mom's Mother Day Socks. Now I'm getting ready to knit a dice bag for L's D&D dice. He picked out the yarn a couple of weeks ago, but since I'm a one project at a time person, I had to wait until these were finished.

Anybody have any idea what this tree is? RL brought it back from his Mom and Dad. There was a man in their neighborhood years ago who's name was Bob Odell. Everybody in the neighborhood had a sapling from the tree and it was known as the 'Bob Odell tree'. I don't mind calling it that, but would like to know what it is so we can figure out where to plant it! Any ideas?

Those socks are beautiful! I love the yarn. I'm not a tree expert, but the leaves look like the leaves on cottonwoods that we had years ago. There are probably lots of trees that have leaves that look like that though LOL!

popcorn tree...very invasive..trust me...our neighbors have a couple, and we are forever pulling up seedlings...they fast growing, and very pretty...but I'd suggested reading up on it before you plant...
