Do my ankles look fat?
No, I haven’t been secretly knitting socks because I spend to much time on Ravelry. These are the fantastic socks that were knit for my by my sock pal for Sockapalooza 4! They fit me perfectly. Seriously, I think she may have come in while I slept and tried them on my feet. And you know, they don’t make my ankles look fat which is something I often find handknit socks do. Maybe it’s because I have stupid skinny ankles.
Anyway, not only this morning was I elated to see that the sock pal that I knit for received her socks and they fit and she loves them, the postwoman knocked on my door about 1030 and I just knew it was my socks because I have been good and not buying other things hahaha. I became all thumbs as I tried to open it because I was so excited. And once I got the box open, I somehow managed to muster up a little bit of restraint so I could snap a picture of all the goodies she included. Seriously I got spoilt!
I was so excited I couldn’t even try hard enough to get a picture in focus! For all the details of the bits, click on the picture and read the notes.
I loved doing this swap and would like to do more in the same vein.
I did have a hard time taking pictures…
Dakota approves.
So thank you to Barbara for knitting me a wonderful pair of socks (I wore them today because it’s actually cool enough to wear knitted wool socks!) and to Leslie for liking the socks I knit for her. Both of you totally made my day week.
PS Sorry Barbara, I don’t have the restraint Leslie has. I just had to show off the socks!
PPS The pattern Barbara knit for me is Tidal Wave by Deby Lake in Lorna’s Laces - Jeans colourway.

I’m so glad you’re having a happy day! And yes, I am showing complete restraint but only because I have to. I haven’t posted your socks for two reasons only. Both are pretty lame but are important to me. 1. I come home late from work and there’s no pretty daylight in order to get these socks properly photographed - plus - John has been out of town for work and I want a better angle on them, and 2. (Don’t laugh, please) I have to shave my legs.
Yes.
Shaving is important. Must . . shave.
So, there you have it. My two extremely lame and the only reasons why I haven’t posted your gorgeous socks yet. It’s Thursday evening here and I promise to shave first thing on Saturday, have John take some awesome pics, and then do my post!!!!
