Sockapalooza Socks Have Arrived!!!!!!

Last Saturday I arrived home from work to find a "Sorry, we've missed you" card from the Post Office and of course they said I couldn't pick up the package until Monday after 9. Well, of course I have to be at work by 9 and didn't get home until after 5. But then on Monday afternoon I found out that I had ANOTHER package. Two packages! I just went to the P.O. and picked up my two packages. I decided that I was going to open one today and one tomorrow. I opened the one that arrived on Saturday and they were my Socks from my dear Sockapalooza pal Protagitron. The pattern is Brigit and they are beautiful.


I waited until my hubby came home from work to open the package and he grabbed them out of my hand and immediately put them on (luckily they are too snug). He was saying over and over "these are some socks". I have them on right now as I type this despite the fact it's about 80 degrees. I can't thank you enough for the most amazing socks. They are so soft and comfy and fit perfectly. Check out these cables!


The yarn is Colinette Jitterbug. The colorway is Velvet Damson or as I shall rename them Velvet Dream! Thanks again Martha!

I know the anticipation is probably going to kill me but I am going to wait until the morning to open the other package. Jeez, it feels like Christmas!

So the socks were finished for my pal a few weeks ago when I saw on her blog that she is going to be a grandmother. So of course I had to knit a matching pair for the wee one especially when I found out it was going to be a girl. The yarn is Lorna's Laces Amythyst Stripe.



I am mailing them both tomorrow with some extra goodies. Their destination is approximately 90 miles from my house. I was going to mail them on Friday since I will be in the same state as my swap pal but I want to know for sure that they are on their way and I won't be worried about them during my trip. I hope my pal and her new graddaughter like them!
