Sockapalooza socks - mine!
My wonderful and talented sock pal, Mandy, sent these well within the deadline (unlike me!). I got them last week on a day that was feeling really lousy,and they literally made my day. I promised myself I wouldn't post until I was finally done with the socks I needed to send out (motivation), but now I can share.
Tiny box full of riches! Note the socks, the sweater stone (I really needed one of these), the postcards, the delicious hand dyed sock yarn up in the left hand corner:
I loved the notes attached to everything: "Made especially for KATHY by Mandy", "extra yarn and washing instructions" (this last one is a big help, let me tell you). Also note a picture of my sock casually hanging out near The World's Largest Chest of Drawers. Along with what appear to be some of the world's largest socks. Mandy tells me this can be found in High Point, North Carolina should any of you wish to go take a pilgrimage there. I love the picture!

This is where I like to sit best, in a glider rocker and ottoman that are sooo incredibly comfortable. As are the socks! They fit perfectly, are soft and stretchy, and the colors are a rich blend of deep reds, purples, with a wee flash of deep green from time to time. The yarn is WildFoote in "Ragtime", and I'll have to search some out and play with it on my own sometime.
Many, many thanks, Mandy! I love the socks and the whole package made me smile.
