I arrived at home this afternoon to find that my Sockpaloooza package had arrived. Many thanks to Cynthia for my gorgeous, Lorna's Laces Lime Green Elfine's Socks. I put them on as soon as I got them and I got several compliments on them at work tonight. A few people asked me if I'd knit them myself, but I gave Cynthia full credit. Cynthia also generously included a skein of Fleece Artist Merino Sock Yarn in the package. I love it. I've never heard of this yarn before (like Cynthia, it's Canadian) and I look forward to knitting with it. This is the first swap/exchange I've done and I thank both Cynthia and Tawana (for whom I knit) for making this a great first experience!
(as with all pictures on this site, click on the images to see them in their full glory)
The socks are beautiful. And the new yarn looks like it will be fun to kit with.

Glad you like them Courtney and I am glad they fit so well. It was such a pleasure to make them for you! I will be eager to see what you make with the Fleece Artist (it is such nice yarn!). It is great to be able to leave a message and not just be a lurker!

I LOVE THOSE!! and i LOVE that yarn. that yarn is inspiring me to make socks. I might have to go and find some of that yarn. of course it is from canada. maybe i should just move to canada. for so many reasons, that would rock.

ooooooooooooooooh - Fleece Artist! Soooooo gorgeous! They were few and far between at MSW this weekend. But highly coveted. I'm so envious! And the green socks are fantastic!
