I finished yesterday and blocked them. They're dry and now packaged and tomorrow after work I'm mailing them to my sock pal! I also included some nice things. The extra yarn incase she needs to make repairs, some coffee and tea, and some homemade (and kinda dorky) envelopes.
so they're off tomorrow! I hope she likes them I know they'll fit they were not as big as the last time when I tried blocking them. The yarn is super soft I used lanett superwash merino wool. My sock pals likes merino. I am so nervous now! does everyone get that way? HELP
oh speaking of nervous.....
I got MY socks today.... whoo hooo I opened the envelope and immediately put them on and haven't taken them off yet. I plan on wearing them tomorrow too. They're sooo beautiful! look I took two pix both similar b/c (I told you) I'm not taking them off. They're blue and yellow sooo pretty! My sock pal was Amy. she did a wonderful job! here's a side view.
oh and she was totally kind and awesome she sent me some Socks that Rock sock yarn! WHOO HOOO! and some really cool Massachusetts postcards that I think I'm going to get some of those picture clips that stand free form and hold your pix with them up.. like art. They're so pretty! thank you soo much! I love them!
anyways that's all folks.
